VORSPRUNG® Portable EV Charger Type 2 with Controllable Digital Screen (UK Plug 3 pin), Electric Vehicle Portable Charger Type 2 (type 2 female), 6/8/10/13A with Free Carry Case (5M)

Plugged it in and charged my car. It ran at full 13 amp and also shows the temp. Got to 42C and stayed there for the six hours to fop up the battery. No problems at all. We live in a new build so the wiring is good. Was nervous reading about fires etc but everything worked fine. The charger looks very well made, and didn’t need any setting up etc. It’s plug and go. Simple.

I don't normally write reviews, but this 3-pin to type 2 charging cable deserves a writeup. Yes, it is not the cheapest, and yes there are units that look similar. I originally ordered another make of charging cable, and it lasted all of 2 partial charges and would only support 10A charging, so I do have some perspective for comparison. The unit comes in a fairly tough bag albeit with a cheaper zip, but that works fine. The cable itself is of good quality, and flexes well considering it's gauge. The type2 plug is well manufactured, and fits perfectly. Setting the mode is easy before a charge, simply press the button to cycle through 6, 8, 10 or 13A settings. 13A was showing a true 3kw throughput on my 3kw L1 phase of my Zero SR/F motorcycle, something that I could only achieve 2.3kw on before with other units and the 10A cap. The fact that I can set a charge to 6A slow charge means I now have the capability of charging at a slower rate to condition my battery pack which is a bonus. It also means I can charge on limited throughput mains circuits or extension cables with a safe margin of current overhead. I should have bought this unit in the first place and not wasted my money on another unit. Top marks for a bit of kit that does what it is meant to, and does it well!

The charger works perfectly with a Ford Puma Gen E. It plugs in and establishes communication with the car every time. It charges at around 2.5kW which is fine for me topping up the battery overnight and a full charge in around 20 hours. And it's around a third the price of a Ford original.

Initially the charger worked fine but after a week or so started to get very hot and constantly cutting out so I would find out in the morning that my car hadn't been charging all night. Very frustrating. One the bright side, it showed that the overheat feature worked and the house didn't burn down.

Had this charger a month or so, really pleased. Looks & feels good quality. I charge my plug in hybrid with it taking 6 hours on 10A. Very easy to use. The 4 charge settings have been great. What I hadn’t counted on was one of my power feeds being a bit sensitive to tripping. So lowering to 6A helps. It’s never going to be a quick charge for these types of charger, but suits me fine. Very satisfied.

This was worth buying. I have a BMW 330e which I charge from a 13A socket overnight every night. I've had it for over 12 months and it has been absolutely brilliant. No problems with it at all. No cable rot (it is outside all day) I would buy again.

You can’t go wrong with this charger, the build quality is very impressive. I was introduced to this brand by my electrician who had inspected the internals and they believe that this is the best quality 3 pin charger on the market currently. From the external robust design, I fully agree with them, this is what convinced me to purchase this brand. The ease of use is extremely beneficial, I just leave it in the boot of my car and plug it into any 3-pin socket that is accessible to me at the time. The charge is very quick considering the power is coming for a socket. I am very happy with my choice and would recommend this brand to anyone considering purchasing.

Good product, price and quality for a home charger
