Hi all!

We are due to receive a new Kuga Phev 1st Edition soon but I was wondering if some of you could tell me how long the charging cables are? I understand that there are two cables (type 2), one with a 3-pin adaptor and one which is an extension for the main cable. Did any of you get an electrician to check your wall sockets (those that don't have a wallbox)?

Also do either of these cables allow public charging if needed? I do not think we will need it given our circumstances but it would be nice to know. Ford suggests a cable for £195 along with other websites but it's remarkably hard finding specific information. (Or I am just not looking properly)

Thank you all in advance and hope you're having a great day! Sorry for all the questions!

I have been told by the dealer that the 3 pin lead is 6 metres long.

Right here’s the answer just measured mine

3 pin plug To power pack 1.7M
power pack to plug that goes in vehicle 5m

so overall 6.7M

I had a Zappi installed at home. It was more convenient than using the 3-pin for me. And having PV on the roof it supports diverting the excess energy to the car rather than importing anything from the grid.

Plus the government coughs up part of the cost of installing a home charger

I see it as an investment, to help get more from my PV. And I won't be going back from electric on future vehicles I buy.

Sounds good to me, I'll get in touch with a local installer tomorrow.

What do you think the advantage of Zappi over a normal 3 pin connector outside the house is?

I am like you have PV solar power as well.
