Hi there,
I'm looking for recommendations for a Type 2, 32 amp 3-phase charging cable to use with my 2021 Model 3 for use with public and home charging. I want around 7.5m length, or 10m if that's all that's available. I'm particularly keen to get a high-quality one, that uses relatively lightweight cable and connectors. The car only came with a ~3.5m cable unfortunately (damn your pennypinching, Elon).
Has to be both 32 amp and 3 phase, so that I can get 11kW at 3-phase public stations, and charge at 7.4kW at home on single phase.
I've looked on a few online shops, such as EVConnectors, EVOneStop, EVCableShop, and Screwfix (they only had a Masterplug 5m), but a lot of the cables look like they use cheap components/cable that would fail easily (or not stand up to the Scottish weather). EVOneStop's seems to be a Rolec product, which I don't really trust given their track record with overheating RCBOs.
I like the look of the Metron and EVChargeKing ones that come with the Tesla radio command button, but am not sure if they're worth the extra price and customs hassles. Tesla's 7.5m Mennekes option seems reasonably priced but the cable is very thick, and it'd probably ship some time in 2025...
Thanks in advance.
