Where the gap is bigger than that, this is the lead that closes it: fifteen metres of 32A conductor with a moulded Type 2 head at the car end and a bare tail for terminating inside the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFifteen metres on the wall needs somewhere to go. A holster or a pair of hooks either side of the unit keeps it off the ground and stops the head being dragged across gravel every evening, and it is worth deciding where those go before the electrician leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to establish first: whether your model is built to have the lead changed, since a few are sealed units, and what the unit is rated at, because a 7 kW box wants this 32A lead and an older 3.6 kW one does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it delivers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 32A on a single phase supply this is a 7.4 kW lead, which matches what almost every UK home charge point can provide.

Swap the lead, which is this product, or plug an extension onto the end of the existing one. Swapping leaves you with one continuous cable and nothing to keep dry halfway along.
