I had an Andersen Quartz charger fitted

I like the looks of these, but do they offer a tethered version? And if yes - where is the cable held?

Yes, I went for a tethered one. The cable is entirely external and hangs on a separate hook. I can confirm that the 8m cable feels at least twice as long as a 5m cable but if you park so as to need its length, it's a pain to pick back up. We need auto-spooling cables.

ETA: I don't have a photo of ours but here's one from the internet:

Oh, and if you do go for one, don't be boring like me - I chose Cheltenham Grey for both the sides and centre panel because I wanted it to be unobtrusive. And it is, but I think it looks nicer with a contrasting centre bit.

Not quite as good looking with the tethered cable, but you don't want untethered for a home unit..... Shame it's not a double-ended "wind around" as opposed to just a hanger.

8m cable is good - our Zappi has a 6.5m cable as std (but you can apparently order and fit upto 25m.... which would be a lot of cable to wind).

We have a hozelock auto retract/lockable mounted reel that handles 25m of hose, so could probably be adapted to handle a charging cable?
