Product Information

Full details

The Third Rock Energy Portable EV Charger is an ideal solution for electric vehicle owners seeking a flexible, reliable backup or primary charging option at home. Designed for the UK market with a standard 3-pin plug, it allows you to charge any Type 2 or CCS2 vehicle using a domestic socket. While it offers excellent versatility with adjustable amperage and a generous 10-metre cable, users should note that charging via a 3-pin outlet is significantly slower than dedicated wall-mounted charging stations.

FAQs

Can I leave this charger plugged in outside?

Yes, the unit is rated IP66, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against heavy seas or powerful jets of water; however, it is recommended to keep the control box and wall plug as sheltered as possible.

How long does it take to charge my car?

Charging speed depends on your vehicle's battery size and the amperage setting. At 13A, expect a slower charge compared to a dedicated 7kW wallbox.

Does this charger work with solar panels?

Yes, by manually adjusting the current to 6A, you can often match your solar array's excess generation to trickle-charge your vehicle.

Is the cable length adjustable?

No, the cable is a fixed 10-metre length. Ensure it is fully uncoiled during use to prevent overheating.

What is the warranty period?

This product comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Troubleshooting

Charger screen does not illuminate when plugged in.

Verify the 3-pin plug is fully inserted into the wall socket and the wall switch is turned to the ON position.

Vehicle is not initiating the charge.

Check that the charging handle is fully seated in the vehicle port. Ensure the delay start timer has not been accidentally activated.

The charger keeps tripping the circuit breaker.

Reduce the charging current via the settings on the control box to a lower amperage (e.g., from 13A to 10A or 6A).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible charging from any standard UK 3-pin socket
  • Generous 10-metre cable length for added parking convenience
  • Adjustable amperage settings for compatibility with generators or solar
  • Robust IP66 weatherproofing for external use
  • Integrated RCD protection for enhanced safety

Cons

  • Slower charging speeds compared to dedicated wall chargers
  • Requires a high-quality, dedicated domestic socket for long-term use
  • Heavy cable can be bulky to store in the trunk

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: plug the 3-pin end into a standard, grounded domestic wall outlet and insert the Type 2 connector into your vehicle. Ensure the socket is in good condition to handle prolonged high-current draws. Compatibility covers all vehicles using the universal Type 2 or CCS2 standard. To care for your unit, keep the connectors clean and free of debris. Always ensure the control box is supported and not left hanging by the cable, as this puts unnecessary strain on the wall socket. When not in use, store the unit in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the cable housing.
