    My Kia Niro didn't come with a granny charger; but did come with a reasonable length Type 2 plug-socket lead. For exactly the classic reason, I am now needing a granny charger. Rather than carry two big clunky cables around, both ending in a trailing Type2 socket, I wondered whether there is a...

    So I had my granny cable melt the socket it was plugged into - socket somehow still works but can’t check the status of the cable due to melted plastic around the prongs. I wanted to know if it would be safe to use the granny cable provided by Tesla (for the model Y) to charge my Zoë?

Five days a week I run the battery from full to empty. Takes about five hours to charge from empty. I want to take advantage of an...

    I picked up my I-Pace last week and I'm loving it! I've just got a domestic 3 pin plug type 2 to charge it for a while until I get my proper home charger. It's a Masterplug Type 2 2.3kw charger. It seems to charge for a few seconds then click off then another few seconds later it clicks and...

    Hi, only had my IONIQ 5 for a few weeks so excuse my ignorance: I have a Wallbox 7kw charger and it works fine so no problem with my electric supply. Thought I would try the portable "granny" cable for when I am away from home and have no access to a proper charger. I plug it into a domestic...

    Hey there. New to the forum - sorry if this has been discussed before (couldn't find anything). I have a BMW i3 which I mostly charge using a granny cable except on long journeys. I am planning a trip to France in the summer and will be mostly staying at a friend's house which is in the middle...

    about a month ago i bought a 13a (well what I thought was 13a) Duosida Granny Cable of an irish selling site - came through with a 13a 3 pin plug on , used it a few times and thought 'that plug gets quite hot' but then I thought well it is 10amps at the end of the day and it has been on a while...

    I wrote the following to Renault Customer Services: "I have just bought a 2011 Renault Kangoo ZE. I charge it each night using an occasional usage charging cord (aka “granny cable”) plugged into a standard 13 amp domestic socket. To avoid wear and tear on my charger I have installed it in a...

    Hi, I'm sorry, this queston has probably already been asked but I have a Renault Zoe (2014) and when I use a granny cable, it either trips the RDC in the fusebox, or the port on the car lashes red and tells me to "Check Charging Station". I have used two different cables now so that can't be be...

    I noticed yesterday that despite my car being parking in the shade the 13A 3-pin plug charging cable (aka granny cable) kept disconnecting. My app and the car said it was connected but not charging. I reset the black box a few times but it kept doing it. Anyone else had this problem? It's...
  16. Kia Niro
    Hi all, I'm in Ireland expecting to take delivery of an eNiro in a few weeks. The dealer has told myself and a number of other eNiro customers that Kia won't be supplying a granny cable with the car because there's been problems with the units and/or plugs melting. They've said Nissan, Hyundai...

    Hiya all. I have a problem with my zoe. I purchased a granny cable from Amazon and everyone online said it works fine with the zoe. But I can't get mine to stay charging. It starts happily but then cuts off after it gains a single percentage. I have to keep going into the app and restarting...
