Hi,

Newbie here, but I’ve searched for hours in the forum without finding the answer to this. I’m sure such an obvious question must have been asked before, so please feel free to flame me, but great if you could forward me the thread first :-)

I bought the car a few weeks ago, and have been charging at home but now a roadtrip is planned, and I’d like to try charging the thing during my journey and have no previous experience from charging. So I need a Mode 3 type 2 charging cable but there are several variants to choose between. All of them would presumably work, but I’d prefer to go for the lightest one that fills maybe 80% of my needs.

I should of course explain first that this is for Europe, and that it’s a 2019 model Roadster. The questions:

1- 16A or 32A?
2- 1 phase or 3?
3- 5m or 10m? Obviously this will depend on the charging station and how I park, etc. but in your experience, how often is a 5m cable not long enough?
4- Any other considerations?


Thanks for reading, and for any helpful responses :-)
