What are 'tethered' and 'untethered' cables for EV chargers?

"Tethered" refers to a cable that is permanently connected to the charging unit on one end.

In contrast, "untethered" means the cable connects to your car on one end and to the charging box on the other, allowing you to use your own cable, such as the one that came with your EV.
