| Applicable Standards | EN IEC 61851-1 / EN IEC 62196-2 / BS 1363 |
| How to Start | Connect device → Insert adapter into Type 2 socket → Press RED (Communication) → Press GREEN (Power ON) |
| How to Stop | Switch off load → Press GREEN (Power OFF) → Press RED (CP OFF) → Unlock and remove adapter |
| Important Notice | For AC Type 2 charging stations with socket outlet only. Not compatible with tethered (fixed-cable) chargers, DC fast chargers, or V2L applications |
| Recommended Use Scenarios | Temporary or portable AC power access from Type 2 charging stations for light electric vehicles, mobility devices, tools, and auxiliary equipment |
Will this adapter work with the charging cable attached to my home Wallbox?
No. This is only for "Socket-Only" Type 2 stations. It is NOT compatible with tethered (fixed-cable) chargers, DC fast chargers, or V2L vehicle discharge functions.
Why does this adapter have two buttons instead of just being plug-and-play?
The dual-button system ensures safe operation. The RED button performs the CP handshake for station lock/unlock, while the GREEN button controls power output. This prevents arcing and ensures the adapter releases properly after use.
Can I use this to charge my e-bike or electric moped at a public street charger?
This is the primary use case. The adapter converts a Type 2 station into a standard 13A UK 3-pin socket, allowing you to safely use your original 230V charger for e-bikes, scooters, or micro-EVs such as the Citroën AMI at public stations.
Is it safe to use outdoors if it starts raining while charging?
Yes. Designed for outdoor use, the Type 2 plug is IP55 rated and the UK socket is IP44 when in use. The UL94 V-0 flame-retardant PC housing is IK08 impact-resistant and UV-stable, making it ideal for British weather conditions.
What is the maximum power output, and can I run heavy appliances like a heater?
The adapter delivers up to 3.0 kW (13A continuous), the safe limit for UK BS 1363 sockets. Suitable for most appliances and chargers—ensure your device does not exceed 13A and is properly grounded for safe use.

- Type 2 to UK 3-Pin Adapter:This adapter features an IEC 62196 (Type 2 plug) connection and a standard 13A UK 3-pin socket. It converts a socketed Type 2 charging station or Wallbox into a standard 230V UK mains outlet. Charge light electric vehicles (Micro-EVs such as AMI, Rocks-e, or Twizy), as well as e-bikes and scooters, conveniently using a standard mains charging cable at public Type 2 AC charging stations.
- Smart Dual-Button Control:Specifically designed for socketed charging stations and Wallboxes (not suitable for tethered/fixed-cable units). A unique two-button system ensures maximum safety: the red button simulates the vehicle signal (handshake) to activate the charging station, while the green button independently controls power delivery to the socket, preventing arcing and protecting connected devices.
- Versatile Compatibility & Power:Compatible with all devices using a standard UK 3-Pin (Type G) plug. With up to 13A / 3kW output, it is ideal for light electric vehicles (LEVs) such as e-bikes, e-scooters, and electric motorcycles—perfect for travel, camping, and day trips.(Not suitable for V2L.)
- Safe & Durable:CE-compliant and constructed from flame-retardant, high-performance PC. Silver-plated contacts support over 10,000 mating cycles. With IP55 protection on the Type 2 plug and IP44 on the UK socket, plus high resistance to heat, pressure, and impact, the adapter is built for reliable outdoor use at public charging stations.
- Compact & User-Friendly:Lightweight and compact for easy storage in a glove box or backpack. Integrated communication enables safe charging start and stop. The two-stage communication design prevents faults and ensures the adapter unlocks smoothly from the charging station. Please follow the user manual for safe operation.(Not suitable for V2L / vehicle discharge.)
