2 Product Overview

The Portable EV Charger 16A 3.5kW Type 2 is a Mode 2 charging solution with an integrated In-Cable Control Box (ICCB), designed for safe, convenient, and reliable electric vehicle charging at home, at work, or on the go. Fully compliant with IEC 62752 and IEC 62196-2, this portable charging gun delivers up to 3.5 kW of charging power via a standard Schuko wall socket, making it the ideal travel companion for EV owners across Europe.

The integrated ICCB control box features adjustable current settings (8A / 10A / 13A / 16A), allowing the user to match the charging rate to the available electrical circuit capacity. A high-brightness LCD display provides real-time charging information including voltage, current, power, charging duration, and energy delivered. The control box houses multiple protection circuits — including RCD (Type A + DC 6 mA), over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, short circuit, and surge protection — ensuring safe operation in all conditions.

The charging cable features 3 × 2.5 mm² high-purity copper conductors with Class 5 flexible stranding, enclosed in a TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) outer jacket that provides outstanding cold-temperature flexibility, abrasion resistance, and resistance to oils, chemicals, and UV exposure. The IP65-rated control box and IP54-rated mated connector ensure dependable outdoor operation in rain, dust, and varying weather conditions.

Manufactured to rigorous quality standards under the management of SORIVO, each portable EV charger undergoes 100% functional testing including RCD trip test, insulation resistance, and continuity checks. Every unit is certified for compliance with CE, RoHS, and applicable safety standards. For detailed company information, please visit sorivocable.com/about-us/.

5 FAQ

Q What is the difference between Mode 2 and Mode 3 charging?
Mode 2 charging (this product) uses a standard household wall socket with an in-cable control box (ICCB) that provides safety and communication functions. It's portable and requires no installation. Mode 3 charging requires a dedicated wallbox or charging station with hardwired installation. Mode 2 is ideal for travel and occasional use, while Mode 3 is better for daily home charging where higher power and faster charging are needed.
Q How do I adjust the charging current?
The charging current can be adjusted by pressing the button on the ICCB control box. Each press cycles through the available settings: 8A, 10A, 13A, and 16A. The selected current is displayed on the LCD screen. We recommend starting with 10A for standard household sockets and increasing only if the circuit quality is confirmed. For continuous daily use, setting to 13A provides a good balance of speed and safety.
Q Can I use this charger outdoors in the rain?
Yes. The control box is rated IP65 (dust-tight and protected against water jets), and the Type 2 connector is rated IP54 when mated to the vehicle (splash-proof). This makes it fully suitable for outdoor use, including in rainy conditions. However, the Schuko plug connection should be protected from direct water exposure when possible. Always ensure the wall socket used is also suitable for outdoor installation.
Q Which electric vehicles are compatible with this charger?
This charger is compatible with all electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids that have a Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) charging inlet. This includes virtually all European-market EVs: Tesla (with included Type 2 adapter), Volkswagen ID series, BMW i-series, Mercedes-Benz EQ, Renault Zoe, Hyundai Ioniq/Kona, Kia EV6/Niro, Volvo, Polestar, Audi e-tron, and many more. For vehicles with CCS2 inlets, this charger works for the AC charging portion. It is not compatible with CHAdeMO or GB/T vehicles without an adapter.
Q How long does it take to fully charge an EV with this charger?
Charging time depends on the vehicle's battery capacity and the selected current setting. As a rough guide: at 16A (3.5 kW), a typical EV with a 40 kWh battery (e.g., Nissan Leaf) takes approximately 11-12 hours for a full charge from empty. At 10A (2.3 kW), the same battery takes about 17-18 hours. For plug-in hybrids with smaller batteries (10-15 kWh), a full charge typically takes 3-5 hours. The charger is designed for overnight or top-up charging rather than rapid charging.
