Full charge? Check
Public charging cable? Check
That'll do. I'll wing the rest

I’ve got a wee question: when insuring a car that’s been purchased via Ford Options is it Ford Credit that goes down as the registered owner?

Thanks ?

I want to buy an extension cable. Does the Ford charging cable have a RCD in it? I cannot find this information anywhere.

Yes, that is what I am going to get. However, I don't know if we need an RCD. If the charger has one in the system then is not required. I cannot see that anywere.
Id say its safe to assume no. I just looked at the specs of it in the owners manual and it has no mention of an RCD (or anywhere in the manual). Plus to my knowledge (dont have the mach e yet) there is no test or reset button for an RCD on the charger which again would suggest it doesn't have one.

Not a definitive answer I know but thats my best guess. ??‍♂

you're still the 'keeper'.
Thanks. Yeah, I was just wondering if there’s a difference between the ‘keeper’ and ‘owner’ when the car is bought through Ford Options.

You know how picky insurance companies are! ?

I'm getting one for when you go to an Airbnb / cottage hire and there isn't a charger anywhere close. Then I can reach a plug somewhere.
