FAQs
Is this charger waterproof?
The unit is designed for durability, but it should not be submerged in water or left in heavy standing water.
Can I use this with an extension cable?
It is strongly recommended not to use extension cables as they can pose a fire risk when carrying high current for long periods.
How long does it take to charge my car?
Charging time depends on your vehicle's battery capacity; at 2.8 kW, it is intended primarily for overnight top-ups.
Does it work with any electric vehicle?
The charger is compatible with any vehicle using the standard Type 2 charging inlet.
What happens if the power cuts out?
The charger will stop the session safely and typically resume when power is restored, depending on your vehicle's onboard settings.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the Type 2 connector is firmly inserted into the car's charging port and check the status indicator on the LCD screen.

Disconnect the charger from the power source for 60 seconds to reset the internal ST chip, then reconnect and try again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the charger, plug the 3-pin end into a grounded UK wall outlet and connect the Type 2 end to your vehicle's charging port. Use the control interface on the unit to set your preferred amperage before initiating the session. For care and safety, keep the charging cable coiled and dry when not in use. Avoid using extension leads or multi-plug adapters, as these can overheat during high-amperage charging sessions. Regularly inspect the plug and cable for any signs of wear, fraying, or heat damage.
