Product Information

Full details

The Masterplug Mode 2 EV Charging Cable is an ideal solution for electric and hybrid vehicle owners who need a reliable, portable charging option using a standard UK 3-pin outlet. This 15-metre cable offers excellent reach and safety features for home or travel use, though users should note that the 2.4kW output is designed for slower, overnight topping-up rather than rapid charging.

FAQs

Will this work with any electric car?

This cable is compatible with all electric and hybrid vehicles that use a Type 2 charging connector.

Can I use an extension lead with this charger?

It is strongly recommended to connect the charger directly to a wall socket to avoid fire risks and power fluctuations.

What does the IP66 rating mean?

IP66 indicates the control box is protected against dust and powerful water jets, making it suitable for outdoor use when connected.

How long is the warranty?

The Masterplug EV Charging Cable comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty.

Does it support fast charging?

No, this is a Mode 2 charger designed for 2.4kW trickle charging, which is slower than dedicated fast-charging stations.

Troubleshooting

Charging does not start after plugging in

Verify the 3-pin plug is fully inserted into a working outlet and the vehicle is unlocked and ready to receive charge.

LCD screen is blank

Ensure the power outlet is switched on and check the circuit breaker for that socket.

Thermal overload protection triggered

Disconnect the unit from the power source, allow it to cool down for 15-20 minutes, and ensure the socket is not faulty or overheating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the Masterplug charger, simply insert the 3-pin plug into a standard, grounded UK wall outlet and connect the Type 2 end into your vehicle's charging port. Always ensure your wall socket is in good condition and rated for high-load appliances. The control box is weather-resistant, but it is recommended to keep it off the ground when possible. To maintain the cable, store it in a cool, dry place when not in use, avoid sharp bends or kinking the wire, and periodically check the plugs for any signs of debris or damage. Always follow the manufacturer's specific sequence for initiating a charge as outlined in your vehicle's manual.
