What's the difference between a tethered and untethered chargepoint?

A tethered chargepoint means the charging cable is always attached to the chargepoint.

An untethered chargepoint means you can remove the cable.

You can choose which one you want when you get your home chargepoint installed.

Some people prefer the tethered option, as untethered cables can be heavy.
