Ordering the BYD Sealion 7 for next month and trying to lock in the home charger install before it arrives so I'm not scrambling. Got a quote for an Ocular Home Plus and the sparky doing the install is pushing tethered — his reasoning is it's simpler, one less thing to lose or damage, and nothing sticking out of the unit when it's not in use.
Every review I've read online makes the opposite case, that untethered is worth the small extra cost because you can detach the cable and take it with you, useful at destination chargers or anywhere else that's Type 2-only with no cable supplied.
Genuinely can't tell if that's a real thing people do here in Tasmania or if it's a spec-sheet talking point that sounds good in a review but doesn't actually play out much once you own the car. Anyone actually taken their home cable travelling and needed it?
