Used the middle and rh side version without a problem. They were part of the purchase package when we bought the M/Home 5 years ago. We also use a French 4 socket adapter with a 13 amp English plug inside the M/Home for charging the ebike batteries, hair clippers and sundry other bits of electrical kit that we have bought in France and Spain. We also carry a French plugged extension lead with a 4 socket 13 amp attached from our French hovel days

Gordon, I saw the EV adapter on a YouTube video. I asked the boss if it could be worth trying to get one, by a PM.
I know that he is busy with his new build, so I didn’t want to bother him again.

If it works, it could be a very cheap alternative to the Juicie Brucie.

That EV Adapter requires the use of your existing EHU Cable and from what I can see is basically an adapter from a 16A 'Commando' Socket to an EV Socket.
EVs are not my area of knowledge but I don't think it has any of the key features that the Jucie Brucie does apart from the physical connection.

I accept what you are saying, although under £35 compared to £195, when you are already carrying a yellow cable, seems attractive. I’ll bear this in mind unless you or the boss says otherwise

I made up a couple of the right hand side ones. Use them to connect my EcoFlow delta 2 max & extra battery to my motorhome / caravan.

I’d personally avoid the short commando adapters that just let you plug your standard orange hookup lead into an EV point.

When we looked into this properly and spoke to companies that supply EV charging equipment, the clear guidance was to use a proper Type 2 EV charging cable, not a standard 16A campsite hookup lead.

The Juicy Brucie cable is built using the correct H07RN-F heavy-duty cable, which is the proper spec for EV charging applications. Yes, it has a commando connector on one end, but the cable itself is the correct EV-rated type. That’s the key difference. The EV charger is rated at 32A per phase, and the hookup cable cannot carry that. There is no fuse to protect the smaller cable.

Using a normal orange hookup lead isn’t what EV points are designed for, and technically, you could end up in a grey area if something went wrong.

Another thing worth mentioning — the Juicy Brucie cable has a locking mechanism in the handle.

• It physically locks the cable so it can’t be stolen
• When you turn the key, it tells the charger to stop charging properly

The cheaper adapters don’t have that facility.

It’s obviously up to everyone what they choose to use, but personally, I’d pay the extra and use the proper cable designed for the job.

If anyone is buying one, the code BEX15 gets £15 off.
