A canvas cable bag is supplied for lengths up to 10 metres. For 15 metre lengths and above, we recommend a cable case. Please read the user booklet included with your cable before using it. Read below for important information about this charging cable.

Bag included for cables up to 15M.
Free shipping to UK mainland.
Extended 2 year warranty. See below.

Please Read Before You Buy
Our Type 2 to 3 pin charging cables are normally returned for one of the reasons below. Reading this information may help you to avoid having to return the charger. Please also read the Description tab further down the page as it contains important information about this 3 pin EV charger.

  • Ensure compatibility between the charging cable and your vehicle. The images on this page provide a visual guide to the connector pins, allowing you to match the cable plug to your vehicle socket. You can also use our EV Cable Finder to locate your vehicle and explore the charging cables available for your vehicle.
  • Is the cable long enough? Measure the distance from your 3-pin socket to your Type 2 vehicle socket, typically where your vehicle is parked, and add half a meter to prevent overstretching the cable.
Cable Care & Warranty
To ensure the proper care of your charger, be sure to follow the safety instructions outlined in the user booklet provided with your charging cable. These chargers have a 12 months manufacturer warranty. However, following the instructions and safety information for using the Type 2 to 3-pin charger will help to ensure trouble-free use and you can also register for a 24 months extended warranty. In case you do not receive the user booklet, please notify us. Additionally, check our EV Cable Care Guide for valuable tips on safely using your 3-pin charging cable and avoiding common issues that may lead to the charger malfunctioning.

Using an outdoor socket? If you are placing the control box outdoors in an unsheltered area, we would recommend upgrading the charger to an IP67 rated unit. For an additional £36 (vat included) we will send you a charger that has a control box that can be submerged in unsalted water for up to 30 minutes, therefore providing enhanced protection during adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow. The IP67 charger has the same specifications as our IP55 and IP65 rated chargers, but the IP67 charger also includes an additional temperature sensor inside the 3-pin plug. This will help prevent thermal damage in case your 3-pin socket overheats. Please note that the length of the IP67 charger (if you have selected the 8M option) is shorter at 7.5 metres. The standard 8M charger has a length of 8 metres.

Use A 13A Socket To Charge The Type 2 Socket LEVC At Home Or At Any 3 Pin 13A Socket

This LEVC compatible charger offers adjustable current settings, allowing you to charge the LEVC EV up to the recognised safe limit of 10A.

Adjusting the charger’s current to 6A, 8A, and 10A, enables compatibility with sockets requiring less than 10A. This feature therefore allows connection to solar panels/PV systems.

The 3-pin charger is designed for plugging into a 13A 3-pin socket. The 10A setting represents the maximum current the LEVC EV should draw from a 13A socket. Drawing more than 10A is not recommended due to the increased risk of the socket and plug overheating.

When using a 13A socket for regular charging, the lower 6A and 8A settings are available, minimising the heat impact on the mains socket. This is important for 13A sockets without a dedicated circuit connection. Or when a qualified electrician has not certified the circuit and socket.

Choosing The Right Charger

The LEVC EV has a Type 2 socket as standard, ensuring compatibility with this charger.

Charging an EV with a 13A socket may cause thermal damage if the socket overheats due to damaged or faulty wiring or if the electrical circuit is overloaded.

For this reason, we recommend having an electrician inspect the intended socket for EV charging to certify its suitability. This assessment should encompass factors such as the set current (6A, 8A, or 10A), charging duration (e.g., 4 hours at a time), and the frequency of EV charging (e.g., daily).

We understand that, at times, charging your EV with a socket certified by an electrician may not be feasible. In such instances, we recommend using the lower amp setting of 6A. It is also a good idea to ensure that both the plug and socket are not becoming excessively hot during the EV charging process.

Avoid using an extension lead or adapter with this 3 pin charger. Plug the charger directly into the vehicle socket of the LEVC EV. Ensure that water does not come into contact with the prongs of the 3-pin plug or enters inside the Type 2 plug. Keep the charger dry when not in use. Before usage, be sure to read the user booklet included with the charger.

Please note that the manufacturer of this vehicle did not manufacture this charging cable.

How Waterproof Is This Charger?

This charger consists of four main components: the 3-pin plug, the cable, the control box (unit), and the Type 2 plug.

3-Pin Plug: The plug should be safe from water if you are plugging it into an indoor socket. If you are using an outdoor socket, the 3-pin plug needs to be protected and you should therefore use a weatherproof socket.

Cable: The cable is waterproof as long as there are no cuts or tears in the cable sheath.

Control Box: The standard control box is IP65-rated. This rating means that the control box can withstand light rain. If you are placing the control box outside, you can select the option to upgrade to the IP67-rated control box. This rating means that the control box is fully weatherproof.

Type 2 Plug: The Type 2 plug is built with an outer shell that is designed to withstand rain and snow when connected to the vehicle socket. The vehicle socket must also provide protection from water ingress when the Type 2 plug is connected and the fit between the plug and socket must be watertight. A common way for water to enter the Type 2 plug is when the plug cap is replaced after charging. To avoid this, ensure the inside of the plug cap is dry before replacing it. Avoid leaving the plug lying around outside and store the charger in a dry place when not in use.

Features Of The Charger
