Can I plug a Mode 2 EV charger into any UK socket?

For optimum performance, it is necessary to connect to a suitable BS 1363-EV-rated mains socket that is marked for EV charging. Standard UK 3-pin sockets aren't built for sustained EV charging, risking overheating, electrical faults and fires.

Are Mode 2 chargers safe?

Yes, when used correctly and with a suitable electrical installation (a dedicated circuit with RCD is ideal). The key is regular checks to charging cable for damage, ensuring your wiring is up to the task and that you're not overloading the circuit.

What is an RCD and why is it important?

An RCD (Residual Current Device) is a safety device that monitors the flow of electricity. If it detects a fault, such as a leakage current, it quickly cuts off the power to prevent electric shock. It's crucial for EV charging safety.

Can I use an extension cord with a Mode 2 charger?

It's strongly discouraged. Extension cords are often not designed to handle the high current demands of EV charging and can overheat, posing a fire risk. Never use multiple extension cords plugged together.

What should I do if my Mode 2 charger gets hot?

If your charger or the plug gets excessively hot, unplug it immediately and stop charging. This could indicate a problem with the charger, the wiring, or the socket. Call the Masterplug support team for guidance
