The Third Rock Energy 3kW Portable EV Charging Kit is an ideal solution for EV owners seeking a reliable, versatile home charging setup using a standard UK 3-pin socket. Designed for compatibility with over 95% of current electric vehicles, this kit provides adjustable charging speeds and weather-resistant hardware, making it perfect for garage or outdoor installations; however, users should note that due to the nature of 3-pin charging, it serves primarily as a convenient secondary or overnight charging solution rather than a rapid charger.

This kit uses a Type 2 connector, which is compatible with over 95% of EVs available in the UK market today.
Yes, the included socket is IP66-rated for outdoor use, though the connection should be monitored periodically for debris.
Charge times vary significantly based on your vehicle's battery capacity and the selected amperage. 3kW charging is typically intended for overnight top-ups.
The charger includes integrated lightning surge and over/under voltage protection to safeguard both the vehicle and the home circuitry.
Yes, the outdoor 13A socket should be installed by a certified professional to ensure compliance with local electrical safety regulations.
Unplug the unit from the socket, wait 60 seconds, and reconnect. If the light remains red, verify your vehicle's charge port settings.
Ensure the connector is fully inserted into the vehicle port until you hear an audible click. Verify the 13A socket is powered on.
Reduce the charger amperage to 6A or 10A using the variable settings. Ensure no other high-draw appliances are using the same electrical circuit.
To ensure safe operation, the included IP66-rated socket should be installed by a qualified electrician to guarantee proper grounding and wiring standards. While the cable is designed for durability, avoid running the cord across high-traffic walkways or allowing it to be crushed by vehicle tires. When not in use, store the unit in the provided premium carry bag to protect the Type 2 connector from dirt and debris. Always verify that your vehicle's charge port is free of moisture before inserting the plug. Periodically inspect the cable and socket for signs of wear, heat discoloration, or mechanical damage.
