    This is the one that British Gas/Polar (aka Chargemaster) are offering for free in the UK, provided you can get a signal for info to be sent back to Big Brother the government. Comes complete with the appropriate connector for your car, which you can't see in the pic because I'm using it...

    That's within 15% of what a Tesla Model S can receive from a j1772. So - are we
    looking for a new ride in the not too distant future?

    I see a Tesla roadster in the future but probably another electric vehicle to complete our family transportation needs.
