VOOL EV Charger comes with a cable so you wouldn’t have to bring your own cable with you all the time.

Charger max power is 3x32A or 22kw. Meaning you need at least 5g6 or 5 line cable with 6mm2 area made of copper to prevent voltage drop in the lines. Also a C32 circuit breaker in the switchboard. RCD is integrated in the charger.
