Product Information

Full details

The Third Rock Energy Portable EV Charger is designed for electric vehicle owners in the UK seeking a flexible, reliable, and safe charging solution that works with standard 3-pin household outlets. It is ideal for charging at home, during travel, or integrating with home solar systems, offering the benefit of adjustable power levels and built-in surge protection. However, users should note that due to the 13A limit of a standard domestic plug, charging speeds will be significantly slower than a dedicated wall-mounted Type 2 home charger.

FAQs

Can I use this charger in the rain?

Yes, the unit features an IP66 rating, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets and dust, making it safe for outdoor use in inclement weather.

Does this charger support fast charging?

No, this is a portable charger intended for standard 13A household sockets and will charge significantly slower than a dedicated 7kW or 22kW charging station.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty to cover defects in materials and workmanship.

Is the cable length adequate?

The charger comes with a 5-metre cable, which is sufficient for most standard residential parking scenarios.

Will this work with my vehicle?

This unit is compatible with all vehicles using the Type 2 charging standard, which is the industry standard for the UK and Europe.

Can I leave the charger plugged in permanently?

While it can be left plugged in, we recommend unplugging it when not in use for extended periods to prevent unnecessary wear on the outlet.

Troubleshooting

LCD screen is blank or not responding

Ensure the 3-pin plug is securely inserted into a powered outlet and check your home circuit breaker.

Charger is not charging the vehicle

Verify that the vehicle's charge timer is not overriding the charger and that the Type 2 connector is fully clicked into the port.

Safety error light flashing on the LCD

Unplug the device, wait for 60 seconds, and reconnect. If the error persists, check for potential ground fault issues in your home electrical system.
