That's called a "Type 2" connector.

It's the now standard connector used to connect EVs (both here, across Europe and also Australia/NZ) to an AC power source. Or more correctly called EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment) rather than "chargers".

These plug connectors can handle both single and polyphase AC supply to the vehicle, depending on the EVSE and the vehicle.

Perhaps editorial was getting confused with the story around BT doing a pilot study to potentially convert their (to be) FTTC disused street cabs to EVSE charge points.

So how do I connect it to my router??? 😎🤣

How can i connect it to the future RTX 5090 ? #AskingForNvidia 😂🙃🙈

I agree. From what I've seen in my town, with the amount of SHEs now installed, there must be more than a few hundred in the UK.

My town only has 20 fibre cabs, but I've seen at least 4 SHEs installed here now.

I don't want to drag this thread off-topic, but I will take the opportunity to ask... which UK based EV web forums would you recommend? In other words, where might I find the helpful and informative Pheasants of the EV world online?! Many thanks!

Hey 🙏

SpeakEV is good 👍

Tesla used to use nvidia processors in their cars, then they shifted to Intel and now you can get them with Ryzens. So just plug it into your model Y or 3 😂

My nearest cab had a vdsl expansion pod added back in ~ 2019. It had no power sticker on it originally, but it now does(added sometime this year), is that just H&S or a precursor to SHE ? It really doesn't matter how we get fttp but just that we do (which is apparently meant to happen from next month).

I think they are being added for power compliance and to try and deter people from blocking access to the cabinets. The pods themselves are DC powered.

Yeah i did think it was that, but the village has had very little in the way of fibre cable pulling, just lots of cbts and now lots of pole provides.

The new stickers are being applied all over. Seen loads. Nothing to do with FTTP.

Hi all

Openreach have been running loads of fibre in to ducting around my town (Tenby) and I noticed them installing these pods yesterday:

Anyone know what they are? The Openreach Fibre When and Where site says they are installing full fibre (1000Mbps it says) within the next 12 months, so I'm assuming it is to do with that, however, these look like GFast pods though to me. Thought they weren't installing that anymore.

If it is Gfast, my copper is around 600m in length, even though the cab is only 100m from my house (it takes several detours apparently!!), so GFast isn't going to do anything for me is it?

They were putting loads of fibre into the chamber in front of the cabinet in the pic with a hedge in it (that's my cab). Would they need to run any extra fibre if it was going to be GFast??

That's not Gfast pod. The Gfast pod have to be fitted on the PTSN cabinet not the FTTC cabinet.
