All our 3 pin portable 13 amp plug in EV home chargers are specifically designed for safe use in the UK where domestic sockets are restricted to a 13 Amps. This is different to the rest of Europe where domestic sockets have a 16A supply.  

At Third Rock Energy, to ensure we only supply safe and compliant products, we have invested in bespoke circuit boards to ensure that our 3 pin domestic portable EV chargers are capped at 13A.

Portable plug-in EV chargers, which are also know as EV Granny Chargers, are designed for your convenience, allowing you to charge your vehicle just about anywhere using any 13A UK 3 pin domestic plug socket.

This portable EV charger has variable settings meaning you can select an output to suit your environment. Below are some examples of different uses for your convenience:

  • 6A & 8A - Ideal for charging your EV from solar power or battery storage where the output is lower than from a conventional power source.
  • 10A - Ideal for longer/overnight EV charging 
  • 13A - Ideal for a quicker charge when time is of the essence

This portable EV charger also benefits from a 5hr start delay function allowing you to take advantage of cheaper off peak tariffs.

PLEASE NOTE - 13 Amps is only suitable for short periods. For longer charging periods the 10A setting should be used.

Warranty - We are pleased to confirm that this product was upgraded in September 2023, and as a result, the warranty has increased from 1 year to 2 years. Therefore all orders placed after 01/09/23 will enjoy the new longer warranty period.

Please ensure that your charger is plugged directly into a 3 pin socket and the socket is earthed and connected to your mains supply. Please do not use extension cables as this can lead to dangerous overheating and will void your product warranty. Please ensure the 3 pin plug is kept dry at all times and if using outdoors please use a waterproof rated socket.

Have the wiring in your property checked if you are charging from a 13A mains socket. Old wiring may not be able to cope with the demand putting your property at risk. An NICEIC-registered contractor will be able to do this for you.

Ideally you should have a new dedicated 3 pin socket installed which is specifically designed for use with EVs. These sockets will be BS 1363-2 and marked with EV 

Check your charging cable frequently for signs of damage or wear and tear and replace it if any damage is evident

This product is absolutely perfect

After being let down by the company installing my home charger I needed something urgently to tide me over once my car arrived. This product is absolutely perfect, I also really like the fact you can delay the start by 5hrs to make the most of cheaper energy tariffs. Would highly recommend.

Good charger

Does what it says on the tin. Easy to use charger. Is let down by the mounting eye on the back that falls out. A proper bracket would work better.

Fair Feedback

Basically the charger is good. Whilst the instructions are quite basic and would benefit from some further, useful information e.g. current can only be changed when disconnected from the vehicle. I would also suggest that the arrangement for wall mounting is inadequate. A single fixing point for a screw, on a plastic plate that frequently detaches from the charger is insufficient.
