Question.

What is the maximum recomended length, for a TYPE 2, charging cable on a 7kw supply? Taking into account resistance and voltage drop.Obviously needs to be of BS/EU standard or equivalent. Not some cheap bootleg/counterfit type.

Thank you all for your advice.

Yours'

Alan.

How about asking the MG dealer?

What length cable comes with it?

Cables appear to be sold up to a length of 45 m. The longer it is, the higher the losses will be.
