You shouldn't need a connector, if you car supports rapid charging their will likely be a cable that plugs straight in to it from the rapid charging unit. If you are in Brighton and want to check a rapid charger out there is one at the Withdean Stadium outside the sports centre, its a 'charge...

Really? I think someone should tell Norway where 60% of new vehicles are now electric, the investors who are holding 45 billion of Tesla stock, Volkswagen who are investing 30 billion in EV development as well as pretty much every major car manufacturer who all have future plans to mass produce...
