Just came across this topic on another forum:

Temperature rise of 13A sockets is only tested for 60 minutes at 13A
(and double 13A sockets only tested to a combined 20A I think).

If it's okay after 60 minutes, is it not likely still to be okay after
10 hours?

In any case my understanding is that if you buy an electric vehicle
you get a 'deal' on a charging point. I only hope it's a better deal
than the Brexit one!

I think it gives you 16 amps and speeds up the charging a bit.

My PHEV came with two cables: one for use with 13A sockets and one for
use with Type 2 public charge points. I've never used the first, but it
has a few current settings. In practice I've always used a dedicated
Rolec charge point at home, which is fed from a 32A MCB and has an
attached cable. The max current my car will charge at is 16A, but there
are some surprising charge currents mentioned he
