VDLPOWEREU EV Charger 7 kW, 5M Type 2 cable

This portable EV charger from VDLPOWEREU delivers faster home charging with flexible current settings, making it practical for overnight top-ups and occasional rapid replenishment. With a 5 metre Type 2 cable and selectable currents from 6A up to 32A, it adapts to different vehicles and domestic sockets while showing live data on an LED display.

Key Points

The unit provides a maximum output around 7.36 kW according to the manufacturer, which reduces charging time compared with lower-power portable chargers. The device supports multiple current modes including 6A, 8A, 10A, 13A, 16A, 20A, 24A and 32A so you can match the charge rate to the vehicle or the socket available. The 5 metre cable length helps with parking flexibility and makes it easier to reach the vehicle inlet from a domestic socket. The package includes a carry bag, a user manual and a one year warranty from the brand.

Technical Specifications

• Name: VDLPOWEREU EV Charger 7kW EC21
• Output power: 7.36 kW (maximum, according to the manufacturer)
• Current settings: 6A / 8A / 10A / 13A / 16A / 20A / 24A / 32A
• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector type: Type 2 (IEC 62196-2)
• Ingress protection: IP65

Benefits

The built-in LED/LCD display reports key charging parameters such as current, voltage, temperature and elapsed time which helps monitor a charge session without additional apps. Choosing a lower current setting can make the unit compatible with weaker domestic circuits and allows scheduling to avoid peak electricity tariffs. The IP65 rating and construction materials are described by the manufacturer as resistant to dust and water and rated for operation in a wide temperature range from -30 °C to 50 °C, which supports use in variable weather conditions.

Usage Recommendations

For safe operation select a current that suits the wall socket and household wiring. If you connect to a lower-rated supply, use one of the lower ampere modes to reduce the risk of tripping an MCB. The 5 metre cable is convenient for most driveways and garages but consider parking position and cable routing to avoid strain on the connectors. The charger includes multiple protection functions such as overvoltage, undervoltage and overheating protection, which, according to the manufacturer, extend service life but do not replace following local electrical safety regulations.

Practical Tips

Keep the carry bag to store the unit when not in use and protect the connector pins from dirt. The device is compatible with most UK cars equipped with a Type 2 inlet, including many mainstream brands, although charging speeds will depend on the vehicle on-board charger and the selected current. Consider programming charging to start during low-tariff periods to make the most of cheaper electricity.
