Description:
This portable EV charging cable converts a Type 2 connector to a standard 3‑pin plug and offers adjustable current up to 13 amps, making it a practical solution for charging plug‑in hybrids and electric vehicles from household or compatible outdoor sockets. Its 6 metre length and LED display help when charging at home, at work or away, with timing and power readouts that simplify scheduled charging and monitoring.
Key Points
The cable supports variable currents of 6, 8, 10 and 13 amps, delivering between about 1.3 kW and up to approximately 3.25 kW depending on voltage, according to the manufacturer. The 6 metre lead gives extra reach for awkward parking situations and the LED screen shows voltage, current, power and remaining time so you can check the session at a glance. A waterproof carrying case and a Type 2 cable holder are included for neat storage when not in use. ⚡
Technical Specifications
- Name: FNITAER EV Charger Cable Type 2 to 3 Pin Plug 3KW
- Cable length: 6 m
- Current settings: 6 A, 8 A, 10 A, 13 A
- Power range: 1.3 kW to 3.25 kW (maximum stated at 250 V x 13 A)
- Protection rating: IP66 for control box, IP55 for plug head
Benefits
Because the current is adjustable, this cable lets you choose a lower amperage to reduce load on an older socket or select the higher setting when the installation supports it. The LED timing and scheduling function allows delayed charging from 0 to 12 hours, which can help when you want to charge during off‑peak electricity periods or avoid starting immediately. The manufacturer states the pins are silver plated and the conductor is oxygen‑free copper for improved conductivity and reduced heating during use, which should promote more stable charging over time. 🔋
Usage Recommendations
Plug the power plug into the socket first and then connect the Type 2 head to the vehicle. When ending a session, disconnect the Type 2 head before removing the 3‑pin plug. Check the display when starting to confirm the delayed charging time has been reset to 0 if you expect immediate charging. Consider that typical UK household supplies are around 13 A, so increasing the current above available circuit capacity may trip a residual current device or overload the circuit. The cable is not compatible with older vehicles that require a Type 1 inlet, for example some earlier Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV models.
Practical Notes
The control box and cable are rated to operate in a wide temperature range and are described as weatherproof, which means outdoor use in rain is feasible according to the stated IP ratings. Bear in mind that vehicle acceptance of the selected current depends on the car’s onboard charger and the supply; the charger will interrupt if abnormal current or temperature is detected for safety. 🚗
