⚠️ 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.

Although I've only had the charger for a week, I love its charges my car well over night. And being able to set delay starts is very helpful for charging only at night between 12 midnight to 5am. I'm very happy with my purchase so far

Having borrowed a similar cable and found it really useful I researched reviews and found this product was highly thought-of. Its good quality and came with a carry case. The longer cable will make it even more useful. It was at a lower price direct from Third Rock than Amazon

Good quality product. Useful information provided by the display. Variable charge rate setting is handy when used in combination with solar. I have been using this to charge until a home charger can be fitted, just takes a little longer. Very pleased.

Good product but would have liked for the lead from the 3pin plug to the charger to have been slightly longer also it could do with a bright coloured cable
