I hope it is ok with you all to start a new topic here. The existing "Home Charging" topic is almost entirely about the issues our Dutch friends have with their 3-phase low-current domestic supplies. While I very much sympathise with what looks like Jaguar engineers being ignorant of this, I'd like to address a few questions relating to home charging in the UK and other countries where a 7kW single phase charge point is not a problem.
I have two queries as a not-yet owner:
(1). Does anyone have any experience of EO charge points? They make a very neat little point without a tethered lead (ie just a socket, really) as well as a tethered one. They are also in Stowmarket (local to me), though the installer they referred me to is in Northumberland!
(2). What is the best universal solution for overnight charging away from home and "proper" EV charge points? Something that could use eg a 32A or 16A commando socket, a 13A socket, or a Euro socket, and get the max current from each? The only solutions I've seen (Juice Booster 2 and Go-e) seem ludicrously expensive (€700-€1000) for what they are, and for the use I'd make of them.
