Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Type of Granny cable

griffdaddy · 2017-11-07 17:28:40

Hi guys, I'm buying a granny cable from aliexpress and need to specify what the current should be in amps, either 10A, 16A or 32A. Is there a way I can check what the output of my sockets is? The house was built in the 90s. I intend to get an external charge point installed soon so this is more of a stop gap measure.…

Your normal household sockets in Ireland are rated at 13A max. Generally, the granny cables supplied with cars here are 10A.

I'd be a bit concerned about buying some spurious cables from China - is it really worth the risk? Sure the OEM cables are ridiculously expensive, but there are third-party sellers within the EU who will at least stand by their product and give you some sort of warranty.
