Cut Type 2 plug to be able mate to the plugs on the Type 2 charging stations
By Nikolay Shishkov • May 07, 2015
The following 2 photos show a plug that was originally made for pluging in the Type 2 outlet on the charging box, but was modified (cut) to make it possible to use Type 2 charging boxes that have a built-in cable.
...nearly 3 years later, plug cut and checked that the cable still works in type 2 sockets of public chargers. Now I can use also Tesla DC (only in a emergency though)
