I was just about to order a 16a 10m lead but my charger is 32a so would there be any issues here. I’m sure the car/charger is intelligent enough to work this out but want to be sure before finding out the hard way!
Personally wouldn't bother with installing a charger, i've been using the granny charger (as the tesla fan bois call them) for 2 years now, never missed a beat and its been left out in the sun and rain, the only benefit to buying a cable is to charge up in a public car park but even then, you will find very soon that the bays are getting busy and its not worth plugging in your hybrid.

Spending £160 on a type 2 cable was probably the worst thing i did for my T8, never going to see the benefits of the money back from the cable unless its free charging somewhere.
