The occasional charging cable is ideal if you’re visiting friends or family and staying all day or overnight – I can foresee that being a fairly common scenario.

The main part of this cable is the box of tricks – would it not have worked just to provide a short cable (with plug adapters) that would have fitted onto the Zoe cable that comes with the car? That would have saved a bit of space and weight.

All things being equal, I would love to have an occasional charging cable, but it is quite expensive – it will be interesting to see how you get on with it.

I wonder whether Renault will eventually come up with one – maybe like the Twizy windows, there is definitely a short-term opportunity for accessory makers to fill the gap which should always have been filled by the manufacturer.

Cheers,
Mark
