The plug that will rapid charge your car will be attached to the station, and be big and heavy with 5 pins.
The plug that will slow charge your car is the one in the boot.
Look under “Europe”. DC fast. AC slow.
Nah, people tend to only do it once, and even then just the ones who didn’t get a proper handover or read the manual. But then something like 150,000 people a year put petrol in a diesel car or vice versa.mass confusion
I mean we were able to fill petrol cars with Diesel and vice versa for several decades. People made mistakes but it wasn't mass confusion...I used the cable off the charge station. Not my own!
It just said type 2 43 kwh on the charge station. I can't help thinking once EVs are forced onto people in the future there is going to be mass confusion.
11kW charger.Thanks guys. Good the know it's broken anyway.
Yes I do have 11 kwh onboard charger.
Thanks for the guidance.

Some are not just a 22kw socket.43kw AC will die out soon enough, more and more DC only rapid charge points going in or where they do AC it’s 22kW and just a socket.
I think people are expecting this to happen much sooner than it really will. There are still lots of Zoes out there which rely on it, and aside from Instavolt and Ionity, all the UK Charging networks are still installing chargers that are equipped with tethered AC on (most of) their units to this day. Pair that with the fact that some rapid chargers in my area are now 8 and 9 years old to get an idea of how long today's installs may be around for, and I can say with a fair amount of confidence that it's here to stay for a while yet.I suppose the phasing out of tethered AC will bring it to a natural conclusion.
I meant more in favour of 22kW untethered - like Osprey and others that use the same Swarco units.I think people are expecting this to happen much sooner than it really will.

Completely agree about the handover, luckily many did research before purchasing an EV so can offer this advice.It is terrible that people are sold EVs without even some basic instructions on how to charge the damn things. Is that so they take them back saying how useless they are and buy a diesel?
