If your car does not have a granny charger, or it is too short, we supply a standard 5m and 10m charger, and a 5m advanced charger with a range of additional functionality. Most electric vehicles (EVs) are supplied with a portable domestic charger designed to charge the vehicle when access to a charging point is not possible. Rather confusingly it is commonly referred to as a 'granny charger', as it is a lead to use when visiting relatives such as your granny! Control unit built into an EV extension lead, to enable charging start and stop times to be set using a manual timer or Wi-Fi control (with the added bonus of energy monitoring). Digital timer experts ORIDGET have created a range of handy timers for all sorts of uses. With an enormous LCD screen and tons of programmable features, the TE02 digital plug is one of the best plug-in timers on the market right now.
Type 2 untethered chargers have a type 2 connector fitted to the unit itself, not to a permanently connected cable (left). They are common for both domestic and public chargers. A separate type 2 to type 2 cable, available in a range of lengths, is required to connect the charger to an EV.When choosing a plug in timer don’t forget to consider the following features… Digital or Mechanical Most are rather long. Think of a cable like a water pipe. If you want high pressure at the end of your 10m garden, you’re not going to achieve it if you use a hosepipe the size of a drinking straw! The longer the distance, the larger diameter you need to sustain the same flow. This principle is the same for electrical cables. The 1.5mmsq vs 2.5mmsq flex debate seems to be the most common one with regards to EV leads on on-line forums, and sadly the most uninformed. For lengths of up to 20m, our advice is that the 1.5mmsq flex used in all of our leads is the best option for the following reasons (apologies for getting rather technical!):
It might look intimidating at first, but the e ight buttons make it easy to set this timer to turn on or off when you need it. W ith a massive 18 separate programmable weekly timers, you can set this plug to automate anything you want. When purchasing an EV, we would always recommend the professional installation of a wall charger. This ensures that the supply used has been tested to be safe and will achieve a faster charging time. When not at home, it is best to use a public charging point. Most EV manufacturers recommend that granny charger are not used as the sole means of charging.
Another setting available on the best plug in timers is an interval setting. This feature allows you to have an appliance come on for a certain amount of time periodically. This is great for fish tank pumps, grow lights, fans, heaters and anything else that you don’t want to run all day. Childproof Option Whist we would never recommend that you submerse an extension lead, it’s good to know that just in case it ends up running through a puddle, it’s actually submersible to a depth of 100m. Yes, but only with the appropriate adaptor and if the charge rate can be reduced to 10A. How do I know the electricity supply is safe?
