Apart from the 'holster' which Pod Point can supply as an option, is anyone aware of any other storage holsters or cradles for the J1772 gun which can be wall mounted?

Yes, I've seen those Paul . The reason is that I'm not planning on buying a 16a charging station initially, I'm going to leave it a while as I think the prices are crazy at present. Most of the time I plan to have the supplied Ampera charger in the garage for overnight charging, and so it would be nice to be able to 'store' the gun during the day. I've emailed the Pod Point people to see if they supply the holster separately at present - I did find a price list in the depths of their web site that listed it at £25+VAT.

I've had a reply from a chap at Pod Point saying that they do supply the holsters separately but usually only in large numbers and how many did I want I replied that I wanted one! I'll be interested to see what he says.....

Ok, I got a quote from Pod Point today for one holster... £25 plus £10 delivery plus VAT, total £42. As this is just for a piece of moulded plastic, I think that for the moment I'll stick with a metal bracket in the garage, and wait until I invest in an external charging unit when the prices come down!

Not sure if this is of interest but it is being sold by a fellow EV advocate for £15 on Ebay (the holster that is) although he is also selling the plug for a very competitive price.

Only thing Id say about that one is that the connector is horizontal, so there's less shelter from rain etc. the Pod Point one I have, and the one @The_Wiggster has sourced is that they point diagonally downwards and so rain shouldn't get into the end of the plug when stored.
