which cable 16 or 32

[Oilslick]

Hi I'm new to all this. literally just got home with my 2015 PHEV
Now trying to decide which cable to buy for public access
Obviously it came with the home charger. I'm trying to choose between the 16 or 32
Your thoughts please Thank you
Alan

Phev can only draw 16. I got 32 in case of use for a future car and thought it might be more durable.
Enjoy the car!

Thanks for the reply, trying not to appear too thick but I'm assuming that the 32 cable still works on this vehicle.
If this is the case then I would also look towards the future with the larger cable.

Unless you intend/need to charge from public points on a regular basis - and so justify the membership costs (e.g. £7.85 per month for Polar), it is doubtful whether buying an additional cable is worth it. I bought one when Source London was £5 per YEAR and all charging free but I won't be renewing now they have adopted a similar price structure to Polar.

And if you sign up to Ecotricity for your domestic energy, and so get 40 "free" charges per year on the motorway, these points have their own tethered cables anyway.
