Hi there. I hope someone can help me out with a quick question (and please let me know if this is in the wrong forum...)
We've just completed a roadtrip from SE England to Edinburgh for a week, which was great and had very few issues with queues at superchargers. The hotel we were staying in advertised an EV charger, so we were hoping to just be able to charge overnight. On arrival the staff informed us it was an "older Tesla type 1" connector and so it might not work in my new Model 3.
On investigation, I found this charging socket lying on the grass - it doesn't look like any type 1 picture I can find. We did see one Model S plugged in charging through the week, so it obviously works with some Teslas but not mine. It was connected to a charger with a Tesla logo etc, but not one of the current wall boxes.
After some googling it might be a Chademo socket, but I'm not sure. Anyone know what it might be and if an adaptor is available (as we're likely to return to the same hotel in future)?
Thanks in advance
