    Buying advice

    Match the connector and cable length

    Most UK EVs use Type 2 — check length and current rating for your parking setup.

    Schedule to off-peak

    Use your car or charger's scheduling, or a smart tariff, to charge when electricity is cheapest.

    Protect cables outdoors

    Weatherproof holsters and covers extend the life of cables left outside.
