Accessories That Make EV Ownership Easier

A great wallbox or portable charger is only half the equation. The right cable, the right adapter and a place to store everything tidily are what turn EV ownership from a hassle into a routine. Our accessories range covers everything you need around the charger — without the inflated brand-tax of dealer parts.

Type 2 Charging Cables

The cable that came with your car is fine — until you need a longer one, a more flexible one, or a spare for the second car. Our Type 2 to Type 2 cables (IEC 62196) work with every public AC charger in Europe and every European EV.

• Lengths — 3 m, 5 m, 7 m and 10 m options.

• Power ratings — 7.4 kW (single-phase 32 A) and 22 kW (three-phase 32 A).

• Build quality — TPU outer sheath rated for −30 °C to +50 °C, IP55 dust and water protection.

• Certified — IEC 62196-2, CE marked, TÜV tested.

Adapters for Every Socket

Travelling across Europe means meeting every type of socket. Our adapter range bridges the gap between your portable charger and whatever outlet you find:

• Schuko (CEE 7/7) — the standard German/EU household socket

• CEE 16 A & 32 A blue (single-phase) — common at campsites and workshops

• CEE 16 A & 32 A red (three-phase) — for fast portable charging where available

• UK 3-pin BS 1363 — for trips across the Channel

Storage & Protection

EV charging cables are expensive — protect yours. Our cable bags and wall-mounted holders keep your equipment clean, organised and dry.

• Waterproof cable bags with carry handles and shoulder strap

• Wall-mounted Type 2 connector holders for the garage

• Charging port locks for public charging peace of mind

EV-Specific Car Care

Electric vehicles have different care needs than combustion cars: no engine bay to clean, but regenerative-brake dust, sensor-cluttered front ends and high-mileage tyres that demand attention.

• pH-neutral shampoos safe for ceramic coatings and PPF

• Microfibre cloths and drying towels

• Wheel and brake-dust cleaners formulated for EV regen wear

• Plastic and rubber trim protectants

Frequently Asked — EV Accessories

Is a 22 kW cable backwards compatible with 7 kW chargers?

Yes. A 22 kW (three-phase 32 A) Type 2 cable works with any AC charger up to its rated capacity — including 7 kW, 11 kW and slower public chargers. If you might upgrade your wallbox later, buying the 22 kW cable now future-proofs your setup.

Can I use a Schuko adapter with my portable charger for fast charging?

No. A Schuko outlet is rated for 16 A continuous but typically derated to 10–13 A for safety. Our portable chargers default to a safe rate on Schuko. For faster portable charging you need a CEE 16 A or 32 A socket.
