Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this Type-2 to Type G adapter safe to use?
Yes. It includes built-in control electronics that limit current to 13 A and use the standard Control Pilot signal for secure operation with all Type-2 charge points.
What devices can I use with it?
Any UK 230 V appliance drawing 13 A or less – for example e-bikes, scooters, mobility aids, vacuum cleaners, or pressure washers.
Does it provide normal mains voltage?
Yes. It outputs standard 230 V AC just like a UK wall socket; the adapter only changes the connector type.
Can I use it in wet weather?
No. It is IP54 splash-resistant only when the lid is closed; always use in dry conditions.
Will charger software updates affect it?
No. It relies on hardware-level signalling, so firmware changes on the charger will not affect operation.
Can I draw power from the vehicle battery with it?
No. It only supplies power from a 230 V Type-2 charging socket – not from the vehicle itself.
