SEVR EV Portable Charger (10A)
A second cable for the boot. Genuine 10 A plug, 3-year warranty.
Plenty of Tesla owners want a second cable: one for the garage, one for the boot. Here's how the options compare.
Teslas sold in Australia use the standard Type 2 inlet, so any RCM-registered Type 2 portable charger works with them. Tesla's Mobile Connector is a good charger with swappable adapters designed for it; a dedicated portable charger is a simple alternative or a second cable for the boot. On a 10 A power point both add about 13 km of range per hour; the plug, not the brand, sets the speed.
