What size cable is required for an EV charger?

Our tethered EV chargers typically have cables that range from 5 to 8 metres, which is generally sufficient for most homes where the charger is installed outside and the car is parked on a driveway. The length will depend on where you like to park your car, and keep in mind that any unused cable length can be rolled up by the charger when not in use. 

Our Ohme ePod chargers come without a tethered cable, so you can buy a cable length of your choice to plug in.
