330e public charging cable
For those who are charging up out and about
What type of public cable are you all using? I am looking at a 3ph 32A type 2 cable (For future use - maybe next car will be 3ph). Do most charging points auto switch for 1ph and 3ph cables? I am assuming they do.

I bought genuine BMW cable on Ebay. BTW. Almost 3 times cheaper than my local dealer, but also authorised BMW garage. just from different part of the country :-)
Anyway from electrical point of view you can use 3ph cable on any 1ph socket. As the pins suppose to be connected keeping electrical standards. |

Just to help others on here I managed to get one from eBay.
https://www.phoenixcontact.com/onlin...ary=usen&tab=1 I chose this one as I know Phoenix Contact is of a high grade. Also a brand I know very well (Industry I work in). It does 3Ph so I can use with other cars later. Its normally £300-600 but got it for £96 on eBay. It looks like its the Tesla cable. It very heavy. Have my Podpoint account, Revive (Genie), Polar Instant and Zap Map all set up now...but nowhere to go! Will try my first charge soon. Maybe at local Tesco where its FOC but it will have to be when less restrictions are in place.
