⚠️Important Safety Information

To ensure safe and reliable charging, please follow these guidelines:

🔌 Use a direct 3‑pin socket Always plug your charger directly into a properly earthed 3‑pin mains socket. Do not use extension cables, as they can cause dangerous overheating and will void your warranty.

💧 Keep plugs dry Ensure the 3‑pin plug remains dry at all times. If charging outdoors, only use a waterproof‑rated socket.

🏠 Check your property wiring If charging from a 13A mains socket, have your wiring inspected. Older wiring may not safely handle the demand. An NICEIC‑registered contractor can carry out this check for you.

Install a dedicated EV socket For best results, consider installing a new 3‑pin socket designed specifically for EVs. These sockets are BS 1363‑2 compliant and marked “EV.”

🔍 Inspect your charging cable Regularly check your cable for signs of wear or damage. Replace it immediately if any issues are found.

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.

Great Value Portable Charger

As a new EV owner, I thought it prudent to buy a 'granny charger' and settled on Third Rock's product after a bit of research, a UK based family business selling properly tested and approved chargers. The charger is well built and behaved impeccably. I realised that I have no need to invest in an expensive smart charger when my car is capable of scheduling the charging times and just needs the charger plugging into it, so as a result I've cancelled an expensive Pod Point charger and will be buying a Third Rock 7KW portable charger instead.

Excellent piece of kit. Recently bought an EV and have used this to charge the car overnight. Reduce the amps to 10 and happily charges all night.

Speedy delivery, works well.

Speedy delivery. Cable works great. I think instructions could be a tad better - I followed them and my car wanted me to “swipe my card” - however if I plug into the car first, and then plug into wall it works perfectly every time. I also wasn’t sure on what “power” choice to use - this could have been advised in the instructions too (unless it was and I missed it). Overall though super pleased and it does the job.

Hi Candice, thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad the charger works well for you. We'll take your suggestions about clearer instructions on board to improve the experience. Thanks for choosing Third Rock Energy!

Works brilliantly

Works brilliantly. We've purchased this as we are wait to have an outdoor faster charger installed at home,for our electric car. This is great just to top up car battery from a normal house 3 pin socket. We don't do high mileage daily so happy to wait a few hours to charge.

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with our 13A Portable EV Charger! We're so glad to hear that it's working brilliantly for you and helping to top up your electric car battery while you wait for your outdoor charger to be installed. Thank you for choosing our product and for your support. Happy driving! - Michael @ThirdRockEnergy

More than a stop-gap

Waiting for quotes to have an EV charger installed so got this as a stop-gap. It is great - so great in fact that I’m beginning to wonder if I need to go to the expense of having a charger installed, especially when I am hoping to move in the not too distant future.

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your experience with our 13A Portable EV Charger. We're glad it's been working well for you as a temporary solution and that our product has met your needs. Thanks again for choosing Third Rock Energy! - Michael

Superb quality

Superb quality, the best one I have used.
Easy to select what level of power you want to output.
We have solar and a full car charger but this one allows us to output much smaller amounts of power tonthe car when we choose to.

Thanks for the positive feedback! We're thrilled our 13A Portable EV Charger is the best you've used. It’s great to hear the adjustable power output is helping you maximize your solar energy for a more efficient car charge. Thanks for choosing Third Rock Energy!

Charger arrived next day which was excellent

Charger arrived next day which was excellent. Packaging was good and the charger looked very solid. It was nice to have a bag as well. Not used yet as it’s a backup as I’ve got a home charger. Hopefully it will live up to the reviews.

Had the new charger for 5 days now

Had the new charger for 5 days now. genuine 3+KW charging from this robust waterproof model. Much better and higher quality than the OEM charger supplied by Land Rover for my Range Rover Sport.

Great portable EV charger and does what it says on the tin

Great portable EV charger and does what it says on the tin.

Bought as a stop gap home charger until my hard wired charge point is installed, and using an existing socket on the 30A cooker circuit I can charge on the 13A setting without the plug (or socket) getting warm.

Takes a while to charge at 2.7kw, but that is no fault of the charger, and I will be able to use it as an emergency charger when I am away from home visiting, setting the charging current to an appropriate level for the socket/circuit being used.

Thank you Third Rock Energy.

Thanks for the review Kevin! We're glad to hear the portable EV charger is doing the job for you at home. It’s great that the adjustable charging current is keeping your setup cool at 13A, and it should definitely give you peace of mind as an emergency charger when you're away. Thanks for choosing Third Rock Energy! - Michael Hobson @ThirdRockEnergy

It is a heavy duty product that appears to be very well made. The display is clear and cycles between two sets of readings, both of which give a clear indication of how the charging is proceeding.

Quality brand

After looking at a few different brands, I went with Third Rock after reading great reviews with them. I was impressed it came with a 2 year warranty, when other brands only offered a year and that it had the energy monitor as well. It is great quality and comes with the bag. I have now used in a few times and seems to be working excellently. I did need to contact customer service after ordering and they were quick to response and very helpful. Would recommend.

Variable amps and timer very useful

Seems a nice bit of kit. Like that one can change the amps so with old wiring/hot day one can charge slowerand prevent overheating. Having the timer is useful too (delay charginbg until cheap rate) as cars do not always have the timers built in, relying on timers in the 7KW + home/commercial chargers.
