Charging my Phev in France

[LesStather]

I have access to electricity whilst I am in France. Do I just use the normal travel adapter to plug it in.

I have a cable that attaches a 3 pin socket to a cable to atach to a camping hook up. I presume I could use this also whilst on camp sites.

Otherwise I suppose i have to run on petrol in charge mode on the motorways and then use the battery in the towns and villages.

If it is a 16 Amps Schuko adapter it is fine.

To be sure, maybe you should check if the adapter get hot while charging...
Lukewarm is fine but it shouldn't get hot.

I don't know if I'm overly cautious about my old house, but the first time I charged at home I checked the wiring where it is accessible...

I would certainly be careful with the cheap adaptors sold in airport departure lounges - they do not inspire confidence. We used to travel to Spain a lot and made up a couple of our own adaptors by connecting a high quality continental plug to a high quality UK trailing socket with a short length of thick cable - we are confident of their capacity (and the polarity is maintained )

Not really -polarity is not guaranteed on the average continental plug.
