Frequently Asked Questions About 16A Portable EV Chargers
We’ve gathered the most common questions from our customers about 16-amp (3.5kW) portable EV chargers. If you’re about to buy one or want to make sure it’s the right choice, this FAQ is for you.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plug the charger into a regular socket?
Yes! 16A chargers work with standard Schuko (household) sockets, as long as they are in good condition and used exclusively for charging.
Can I use an extension cord or power strip?
No. Never use extensions or multi-socket adapters. They pose a serious risk of overheating, short circuit, and fire.
Is it compatible with all electric cars?
Yes, as long as the vehicle has a Type 2 connector (European standard). This covers 99% of the models sold in Europe.
Can I use the same charger for two cars?
Yes. As long as both vehicles have a Type 2 connector, the charger can be shared with no issues.
Do I need special electrical installation?
No. A 16A Schuko socket with a breaker is enough. No wallbox or industrial setup required.
How long does it take to charge?
On average, it adds +25 km of range per hour. Perfect for charging 200–250 km overnight, depending on your battery size.
Does it work in the rain?
Yes. Our chargers have IP65 protection — water and dust resistant.
Is it safe to leave charging overnight?
Yes. The charger automatically stops when the battery is full and includes overheating protection.
Does it work with plug-in hybrids (PHEV)?
Yes. As long as the vehicle has a Type 2 connector, charging is often even faster due to smaller battery size.
Can I take the charger with me while traveling?
Yes. It’s lightweight, portable, and works in any 16A Schuko socket.

16A portable chargers are the ideal solution for safe, flexible, and independent EV charging — at home or on the go.
