Hi all, just wanted to check something - does the granny charger come with the car. I took delivery of mine a couple of days ago and it only came with the type 2 connector, not a 3 pin connector.

In the manual it mentions the type 2 and the 3 pin connector, I thought I better check with other owners first before contacting the lease company.

Thanks all.

No. They have never come with a granny.

IIRC, Renault want north of £500 for their granny lead.
Far better to join RZOC (Renault Zoe Owners Club) for free and get a £15 discount code for a club-approved 3rd party lead from EVOneStop, which brings the price down to £172.

Thanks for the tip

I don't suppose anyone knows if the Tesla Mobile connector will charge the Zoe? I have one of those!

Do you mean a UMC?

Yes, they will work. However be careful to never ever charge the Zoe with it with three phase, or you will damage both the car and the charger.

Yes, the UMC - awesome, ok in that case I will just use that if need be.

Noted about 3 phase, thanks!

Hang on, I just had a thought, seeing as the Zoe 50KWH can take 22KW AC from the type 2, why can't I connect it to three phase?

I think the UMC is single-phase.

Yes, but you need a three-phase EVSE.

As per above, DO NOT DO THIS WITH THE UMC.

The Gen1 UMC is three phase - my Tesla is currently charging happily from it on 3P.

Gen2 is single phase.

Ah, I see. I think I read something about needing a red commando adaptor to use the gen2 on 3P.
