    Anyone picked up a cheap plastic holder for their charging lead?

    I see them on eBay but for a simple bit of plastic they are relatively expensive.

    Cheapest is AliExpress, might end up going for that one if no-one has any other option.

    I bought one but I don't bother using it!
    I just drape the cable over the top of the charge point. Its quicker/easier.

    If you put it in a holster you need to be sure no one will side swipe it and break it when they walk passed it because it will be sticking out from the wall.

    I can't remember what I paid for it. I bought it at the same time as buying a coiled cable from this company

    http://evcables.co.uk/index.php/type1-holdster.html

    They are showing it as £0.00!!


    This crowd are doing it for €12

    I attached my holder to an “L” bracket to prevent that from happening. The charger handle is parallel to the wall when in the holder and is out enough to avoid scraped knuckles.

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    Got one off Phil. I think it was €20. Was planning to install a pedestal, but I never did. Never used the holster as I use a bush on my driveway as the resting point for the lead :D

    If you want it, PM me!

    Oh hold on a second, mine is a type 2. Does that fit a type 1 cable as your Leaf? Probably not?

    No, don't think it will. The holders appear to be shaped to fit the head exactly.

    Don't worry. Thanks anyway.
