VDLPOWEREU EV Charger 3 kW, 8m Type 2 cable 🔌
Product description
This home electric car charger cable Type 2 offers a straightforward way to charge at domestic sockets while allowing you to select the charging current to suit vehicle and battery conditions. It is built around a single-phase 3 kW output and a long 8 metre cable, so it works well for overnight charging at home or at work where a slow, steady fill is acceptable. ⚡️
Key Points
The unit lets you choose from 6 A, 8 A, 10 A or 13 A currents, which can help manage charging rates according to battery specifications and available supply. This flexibility may contribute to longer battery life when used appropriately, according to the manufacturer. The cable uses a sturdy plug and a copper-core conductor to improve stability during charging, and multiple protection layers monitor temperature, surges and voltage to reduce risk during use. 🌧️
Benefits
The charger offers a simple, lower-power alternative to wall boxes and public rapid chargers, making it convenient for users who mostly charge overnight. Its long reach gives more placement options for parking that is not directly beside a mains outlet. The unit also includes booking capability for scheduled charging, which helps take advantage of off-peak tariffs where available. Consider that the maximum speed is limited to 3 kW, so charging will be slower than high-power public stations.
Technical Specifications
- Name: VDLPOWEREU EC11
- Maximum power: 3 kW
- Selectable current: 6 A, 8 A, 10 A, 13 A
- Cable length: 8 m
- Ingress protection: IP65, temperature range -30 °C to 50 °C
Usage Recommendations
Use the lower current settings if the vehicle battery or household supply requires gentler charging, and increase current where the socket and vehicle specification permit. For outdoor use in wet or dusty conditions, the IP65 rating provides protection from rain and particles, but avoid immersing the unit or leaving the plug exposed to prolonged flooding. The charger is broadly compatible with Type 2 inlet vehicles that follow IEC 62196-2 standards, including many common models from mainstream manufacturers. ⚙️
Consider that this solution is focused on convenience and compatibility rather than rapid refill. If faster charging is occasionally required, pairing overnight home charging with occasional use of higher-power public chargers will offer the best balance of convenience and speed.
