🛡️ UK's First Fully Compliant 13A EV Outdoor Socket (BS 1363-2 EV)

For reliable, long-term Electric Vehicle charging, the IET Wiring Regulations (722.55.101.0.201.1i) require dedicated 13A UK sockets to meet the demanding new BS 1363-2 EV standard. Most standard sockets fail this test, leading to potential failure when sustaining the long-term load of an EV charger.

We are pleased to offer one of the first fully compliant 13A EV sockets available in the UK. This socket is engineered specifically to handle the continuous 10A load drawn by a portable EV charger, ensuring maximum safety and durability for your installation.

🔌 Weatherproof EV Socket + Socket Plate

This essential product provides a safe, permanent charging point for your home, meeting the highest UK standards.

Compliance & Continuous Use Guarantee

  • Fully BS 1363-2 EV Compliant: The socket is marked 'EV' on the back to demonstrate full compliance with the demanding new British Standard, including the required cyclical load test.

  • Engineered for EV Charging: Specifically built to withstand the continuous 10A load over long periods, preventing the premature wear common in standard outlets.

  • Double Pole Switched: Includes a double pole switch for enhanced electrical safety and complete isolation.

Maximum Durability & Weatherproofing

  • IP66 Rated: Provides complete protection against dust ingress and remains waterproof even when subjected to powerful water jets.

  • Robust Construction: The enclosure is made from robust, high-impact UV stable plastic, preventing discolouration, fading, or cracking in extreme temperatures.

  • Durable Latch: Features an easy-to-open latch engineered to withstand repeated use without breaking, even accommodating larger 2.5mmsq flex.

Installation & Security

  • Easy Installation: Designed for simple setup with multiple 20mm round entry positions on all four sides and a central 20/25mm entry on the back.

  • Security Feature: The enclosure can be locked shut with a small padlock (5.5mm maximum diameter) to prevent unauthorized access.

Frequently asked questions

How long will it take to charge my car?

There is a quick calculation you can do to determine the charging time. If you divide the size of the car battery by the kW's that the charging equipment is capable of, this will give you your charge time (0-100%)

A simple example is that one of our 3 Pin portable chargers which can delivery 3kW per hour will take 10hrs to fully charge a car with a 30kW battery (30/3). As always, if in doubt please feel free to contact us anytime and we will be happy to help

What is your delivery time?

We send all our deliveries using a next working day delivery. We state 1-2 days to allow for a variable collection times each day. Usually, if you order before 12pm (midday) you would usually receive your item the next working day. For example if you order on a Friday morning you will receive your item on the Monday.

Will this work with my car?

Most vehicles in the UK are Type 2 connections (especially post 2018) and all our Type 2 products are compatible. If you scroll to the top of this product page we have a handy vehicle checker available for you to use. If you cannot find your vehicle on the list, fell free to contact us and we will quickly be able to confirm this for you.

What is your warranty period?

We offer a 2 year warranty on all products (unless specifically stated). The warranty is managed directly by us so we usually turn around any issues within a couple of days. If you have any specific questions about our warranties, please contact us anytime

What cable length should I go for?

There are two main considerations when choosing the best cable length.

1. The cable should run loosely along the ground to reduce the risk if tripping. If the distance between your power source and your car is 7-8 metres, go for a 10 metre cable.

2. Think about where you are likely to charge your car the second most often and make sure you allow enough cable to reach your power source at both locations comfortably
