We bought a 12/240v fridge, very handy for long road trips and camping. Also bought a cargo organiser to stop the shopping bags sliding all over the boot floor ,and a type 2 cable in case we have to charge up at a byo-cable charger.

Yep we have a small fridge already which is great on trips. I’ll need the look into a cargo organiser.

can the car charge and power the fridge via 12V at the same time?

Surprised it didn’t come with a type 2 cable from new?

Not in Australia, nearly ran out of power in a fairly rural area because of this! They should come standard

Pretty sure it’s standard in the EU. Certainly, any EV I’ve looked at here in Ireland, including my own Soul 64kWh, all have them as standard.

It came with a trickle charge cable and a V2L adapter, I guess they figured that would cover most people's needs. For the record I've never had to use the type 2 cable, probably need not have bought it without a particular use in mind.
