Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I use a regular wall socket for my 16A home charger?
Standard wall sockets are rated for a maximum of 13A. A 16A home charger will cause overheating, which can lead to fire. This wall socket is specifically designed for 16A.
Can I install this myself?
No, installation must be done by a certified electrician. A 16A circuit with appropriate wiring and fuses is required.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
This wall socket is splashproof (IP44) and suitable for sheltered outdoor areas such as a garage or carport. For fully outdoor use, we recommend a higher IP rating.
Which home chargers can I connect to this?
All home chargers up to 16A (3.7kW) with a Schuko plug. These are most single-phase mobile chargers for Type 1 and Type 2 vehicles.
What happens if I use a regular socket?
The outlet and wiring can overheat, posing a fire hazard. Furthermore, your insurance company may refuse to pay out for damages caused by unsafe installation.
