We have a Hager wallbox, which doesn't. That's good in a way, though, because it makes the cable easy to replace, if/when it needs it. > These are never referred to as "CCS", but "Type 2"...

The > format is more correctly called CCS Combo 2. Sorry, my fault. Somewhere I read CCS and CCS2 for AC and DC respectively, and they've stuck with me. But yeah, Type 2 is common for AC at 22kW or 43kW max. For DC I mostly see CCS, CCS Combo, and CCS Combo EU. > These will work perfectly well as your primary means of charging the > vehicle at 2.3kW, but it tends to be discouraged. Well that's interesting. Can you please tell me who or what discourages low power charging, and why? I've missed it. Of course it's slooooooow ... but for folks renting their homes, it makes some sense. FWIW, we rented a Dacia Spring in 2023, while our Zoe was in the body shop for a bum tap. Only a granny cable was included, which seemed like a pretty significant omission. David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
