Iooking to order a first edition and notice in the standard equipment it comes with a Multi-function charging cable ? Does anyone know if that is a 220/240 13 amp lead to be able to charge your car at home or do you have to get a wall box installed before you receive the car?
I have been running a plug in hybrid for the last two years and have always found the plug in lead sufficient. There used to be a grant available to get a wall box but with my last car I missed the claim date by 1 month so did not bother!

It comes with two cables. One allows you to charge from a standard 13A socket, the other allows you to connect to certain wall boxes.

The former will be VERY slow to charge; over 30 hours from 0-100%. A 7.4 kW wall box will enable you to charge from 0-100% in around 14 hours.

Hi,
Many thanks for the reply, looks like it will need a wall box fitted to get it to charge overnight.

You may be eligible for a charging point grant. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/564537/evhs-guidance-for-customers-v-2.1.pdf
