Hi all - complete newbie here! 
I'm having a Chargemaster unit installed tomorrow and picking up a new Ampera on Weds.
Because I'm not sure what vehicle I'll go for next, or what charging type it will be, I've gone for an untethered unit (on Chargemaster's advice) and asked Vauxhall to throw in a Type 2 to Type 1 (Mode 3) cable as part of the deal. The rationale being that I can use it at home AND if I need to charge up on an ecotricity unit. It does however mean that if I buy a different EV in the future (which is likely to have fast charging) I'll have to buy a new cable....but that's preferable to having to shell out for a new charging unit.
Thought I'd just check that my reasoning is sound, with experienced users.
Thanks in advance.
