The following is a small treatise on Australian charging I have written for a gentleman from the US who is about to borrow my car.

Thanks Ray
Nice and clear...since I fit in the mob that plugs in at home on a Tesla Wall Unit I noticed you recommend one plugs in each night? I do about 1,500-1,800km's per month therefore only tend to plug in 2 times per week...you see any issue with this yourself?

Guide looks good.
Couldn't help but notice your EU to OZ 15 amp adaptor looks to be wired in 'twin&earth' building wiring. This type of cable is for fixed installation only - not for something like a lead which flexes and moves around. The cable in your lead has a smaller count of thicker copper cores which in time will bend and break, compared to flex cables which have lots of thin copper cores.
For the sake of a small dollar amount in materials it'd be awful to see something go wrong so it might be worth getting an electrician to take a look at replacing?

Making that one was more of an academic exercise and I intend chucking it at some time. Also the 32 AMP is the only one that really gets used.
