Type-2 cable damaged while on holiday (France) -- where to buy replacement?

[dbartram]

It seems that a charging station at a village in France has destroyed my Type-2 charging cable. (The charging session stopped, and when I went to figure out why the cable was very hot. If I try to use the cable at a different charger, I don't get anywhere -- I get a message on the main screen that says there's no power source.)

I'm now in Annecy and struggling to keep a sufficient charge level. The best option is to replace the cable. But I can't figure out what kind of shop might sell them -- or indeed whether they are sold in shops at all. I'd be grateful for any suggestions on how I can get a new cable, ideally from a shop of some sort.

I’d try the Hyundai dealer in Annecy, they may have one or be able to help.

I would have thought a Peugeot garage might be able to help as they sell EV's...

There appears to be a Tesla dealership in Chambéry — about 48 minutes from you according to google.

If you buy from Hyundai or others, remember you are better off with a three-phase Type-2 cable, so check what they offer you. Most of the Hyundai are sngle phase, so you'd only get 7kW even on a 3-phase AC point. It may be best to stick with the nearest Tesla SC, as you might get it replaced on warranty if its not that old?

Well pointed out @Burley .... the importance of getting the 3 phase version of the Type 2 cable ...

Why not use Superchargers for your holiday ? Sort the cable on return home ?
