Newbie here with very little car expertise: hence, apologies for very simple queries but have been struggling to recharge my Q5 since I bought it at Christmas I don't think my cable is correct and then I have suffered a number of slightly farcical issues with local charging stations being out of service or not having the correct cables missing, etc Net result is that I have only recharged successfully once since I bought it! 1. Recharging cable This is the cable that came with the car. I understand it to be a Type 2. The socket on the right of the picture attaches successfully to the recharging station, but then the other end (left) isn’t big enough to fit my car charging port. Can anybody please advise: i) what is the correct cable that will work with my Q5 TFSIe? ii) is there an adapter I can buy to fit on that existing able to successfully attach to the car port? 2. Cost The only recharge was for about 80% (circa 25 miles), took 90 minutes, and cost £9.39. That is roughly the same cost as petrol when I was expecting it to be much cheaper. Have I missed something? Potential replacement car I'm so fed up with having a PHEV hybrid because of the inconvenience that I am already considering part-exchanging for a HEV or MHEV (took me a while to understand what the different acronyms mean). I also reversed the car into a bollard causing hundreds of pounds of damage! What advice can people give on whether I am better with a HEV or MHEV? I would prefer a more sporty version if possible - what is the difference between Sport and S-Line? (for info, Audi live chat wouldn't help me with any of these queries unless I went into a dealership) Many thanks in advance for any help offered
