A frequent difference of opinion between EV owners is whether they should own a tethered or untethered charge point.
I filmed this in the summer of 2020 for use in a post and it’s a recurring question from new owners about whether to go tethered or untethered.
Quite simply, it will depend on personal circumstances, but this was my reasoning from the start…
When we installed our initial one back in 2014 (now replaced with the zappi), I decided to future-proof by going untethered. This proved to be a good idea, as demonstrated here.
You should always have a dedicated AC cable in the vehicle anyway, so buying an untethered unit with a cable design only for home use is pretty much equivalent to paying the extra for tethered, only it gives you more flexibility about length of cable.
