    Hi All,

    Looking for some advice here on charging my car.

    I finally pick up my Volvo XC40 T5 plug-in hybrid and have ordered one of these to be installed by an electrician outside my house:

    https://www.screwfix.com/p/mk-ip66-13a-1-gang-weatherproof-outdoor-unswitched-digital-timer-socket/68108?tc=LB4&ds_kid=92700055281954484&ds_rl=1249401&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2tCGBhCLARIsABJGmZ4M7fIBQbOyLWKCN65T6Uox-GFM8EQBo5NQPnROuGvifFkJMpxZnBsaAqiBEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

    I dont really understand this commando socket and would I be better off returning my one for a commando 32A socket?

    I chose the timed one to make use of the cheaper tariff offered by Octopus energy during the night when i do eventually switch over.

    Any advice would be much appreciated!
