AC Chargers Beach and Rural Towns BYO Cable

There are over 5,201 EV charging sites in Australia, about 1,579 are DC charging sites and 3,622 are AC charging sites.

Most AC destination chargers require you to bring your own Type 2 cable. I use these chargers when I am parked for work, shops, meal, beach, park or library etc. or at my accommodation.

My Tesla 3LR accepts a rate of 11kW per hour of AC, so, for example, my car tops up with 22kWh from 50% to 80% in 2 hours.

I carry and use a Type 2 cable at non Tesla chargers. There are different strengths of cable, 7kw or 22 kw. For Tesla you need the 22 kw 3 phase 32A cable.

The Tesla online shop supplies the Mennekes Type 2 cable . They call it a MENNEKES Type 2 Adapter – 7.5m https://shop.tesla.com/en_au/product/mennekes-type-2-adapter—7_5m

Here are the specs of the original German Mennekes cable https://www.mennekes.org/emobility/product-details/charging-cable-mode-3-type2-32a-3ph-75m-36247/

The Tesla Shop was out of stock at the time I bought my EV, so I ordered mine from https://EVolutionAustralia.com.au and it arrived safely. It was 5m, which is just long enough. I’d probably go for the 7m one next time.
