Product Information

Full details

The Third Rock Energy Portable EV Charger is designed for EV owners who prioritize flexibility and reliability, whether charging at home from a standard outlet or while traveling. It provides a convenient 3.6kW power delivery with the ability to adjust amperage, making it an excellent match for those with solar PV setups or specific circuit limitations. While it offers robust safety features and high-grade weatherproofing, users should note that as a portable unit, it is capped at a 3.6kW charge rate, which is slower than a dedicated wall-mounted home charging station.

Troubleshooting

Check that the charger is firmly plugged into the wall outlet and that the circuit breaker for that outlet has not tripped.

Verify if the delay timer is active; check the LCD for the remaining time, or adjust the amperage settings if the car is rejecting the draw.
