bokman Type 2 to 3 Pin EV charger 8m
Product description
If you want a practical way to charge at home or at a public Type 2 point, this portable EV charging cable from bokman is built for everyday use. With an 8 metre reach and up to 2.3 kW charging power, it gives you more flexibility when the charge socket is not right next to the car. 🔌
The bokman EV Charger Type 2 to 3 Pin Plug is designed to be straightforward to connect, then get out of the way while charging starts automatically. It also includes features that help with safe operation, including an automatic shut off, so you can plug in and move on with your day. 🚗
Key points
This portable charger helps you extend your charging options by giving you a longer cable run, so you can reach a Type 2 public or home charging point with less hassle. The cable is supplied as a Type 2 to 3 pin solution, so you can connect to compatible vehicles without needing complicated set ups. Once connected to the car and the socket, charging starts immediately at a maximum current of 13A, which makes it easy to use as part of your routine.
Durability is a core theme here. The cable uses TPU material designed to protect against water and dust, which matters if you park outdoors or charge in changeable weather. It is rated IP65 waterproof, and the product description also mentions it can handle a wide temperature range, from freezing conditions of -30 degrees C up to 50 degrees C. That kind of resilience is useful if you regularly charge outside during colder months or wet spells.
There is also a focus on safe operation. The charger includes an automatic shut off function intended to prevent overcharging, helping support battery longevity over time. Combined with the user friendly design, this makes it a sensible option if you want a charger cable you can rely on at home and when you are away.

What stands out
A key advantage of this model is how it balances reach with manageable setup. The 8 metre cable length helps reduce positioning stress, especially when parking slightly further from the charging point. That extra flexibility can be the difference between being able to plug in without rearranging everything, and having to move the car just to get the connector close enough.
It also uses practical safety and convenience features. The charger is described as easy to use, with no complicated settings or configurations required, and charging starting automatically when you plug it in. You also get an automatic shut off function intended to help prevent overcharging. 🛡️
Durability claims are included in the description, covering both the cable materials and physical resilience. It is rated IP65 waterproof and dustproof, and the description additionally says it can withstand a fall from a height of 1 metre and pressure from heavy objects weighing up to two tons. While real world outcomes can vary with usage, these points suggest it is made to cope with day to day handling.
Finally, compatibility is addressed. The description states it meets IEC 621962-2 for most Type 2 electric vehicles BEV and PHEV, supporting wide compatibility across models that use Type 2 charging. If you have a vehicle that supports Type 2 charging, this is likely to be the type of cable you can plug in and use without needing to rethink your whole charging setup.
Who it’s for
It’s a good fit if you want a portable EV charging cable with an 8 metre reach for home and public Type 2 charging points. It makes sense if you prefer a plug in approach with automatic charging start and you want built in support for safe operation through an automatic shut off. You’ll like it if you charge in outdoor conditions and want an IP65 waterproof and dustproof cable designed for everyday handling.
It might not be a great match if your vehicle or charging setup is not compatible with the Type 2 to 3 pin configuration described, or if you only ever charge at very short distances where cable length is not a deciding factor. If you do have a compatible Type 2 car and you value convenience, durability, and practical reach, this is the kind of charger cable that can sit in your car or home storage and be ready when you need it.
