Can anyone recommend a cheap Granny Charger - don't want to spend too much as it may never get used!

Screwfix sell a Masterplug one for £150 (5m) or £170 (10m) - reputable brand, and a good price. I'd certainly pick that over one of the less known brands on places like Amazon or eBay.
Argos sell the same Masterplug models for £210 and £249 as well as a Ring one for £220 if you need one and Screwfix are out of stock (at that price, demand is high so they probably often are).

I have brought the 10m cable from Screwfix - best price I could find at the time - worth paying the extra for the 10m length and also a cable bag (£10.00). Had to wait a few weeks as out of stock, and currently out of stock in my local branches. Not used yet but seems well made and easy to return should any issues arise.

Agree with RichR and Dorsetandy; I have the 10m Screwfix lead, it is well made, shows time and power drawn on a screen and works just fine. It’s left permanently connected, open to the elements, plugged in to an outside waterproof socket, and still working perfectly after 6 months use.

Try here Bryanmet https://ev-extras.com/collections/portable-chargers I took delivery day before yesterday £145 quid job and my cars fully charged at 80% when ever I want now. I would have gone Screwfix Mastaplug, but Screwfix and everyone else are all out of Mastaplug chargers.

Just to say that the Screwfix 10m cables are back in stock, in case anyone wants / needs one.
