Eer so what, you actually carry the type 2 charging unit around with you?

Yep, I keep mine in the car all the time

Well we have our Type 2 cables yes, but it seems to be the unit the customer has is basically the entire charger?

Ubitricity went away from this model years ago - they first launched with their "smart cable".

Can't see how this works long-term.

I think I read something about this a while back and the upstand post and connector is carried around by the car owner and slots into the socket in the pavement you then plug in your type 2 cable and the charge - charging locks the whole assembly in place until you stop the charge - iirc.

We had a short thread about these over 2 years ago here,

It looks to me as if the cable and charger adapter are permanently connected and thus the car owner needs to carry two cables around. (Or three with a granny charger).
