These adaptors are compatible with the bulkier type of UK 13A plug now used on all EV chargers including the Tesla mod 1 and mod 2 UMCs. If you have a Tesla mod 2 UMC, a range of standalone adaptors and a specific version of the ModulEV® system are both available, offering faster charging rates. Please see our guide on determining which Tesla UMC version you have.
Standalone EV adaptors enable an EV 'granny' charger with a 13A UK plug to be connected to a range of industrial sockets.
Typical Application
The picture below illustrates a typical application; an EV charger with a UK 13A plug is connected to a 230v 16A hook up, commonly found at campsites and marinas.
Adaptor Options
Adaptors are available in a range of options to fit the majority of industrial sockets across the UK and Europe. It can sometimes be difficult to identify the different types of sockets - a useful tip is to use the diameter stated under each picture.

57mm diameter |
230v 32A Blue Sockets (IEC 60309) Enables connection to blue 32A sockets which are commonly used in industrial locations and power installations at temporary sites. N.B. The Tesla mod 1 UMC and Audi E-tron are supplied with a 32A plug adaptor, which can be connected to 230v 32A sockets directly, for faster charging rates. |

56mm diameter |
415v 16A Red Sockets (IEC 60309) Enables connection to these sockets, which are commonly used in industrial locations and power installations at temporary sites. The adaptor is only compatible with 5 pin sockets (L1, L2, L3, N And E), as EVs require a neutral connection. |
