HOMCOM 7kW Type 2 EV Charger, 10m, Black - C20-115V01BK is a dual‑use 10 m Type 2 cable and control box delivering up to 7 kW to compatible wallboxes or, with the supplied UK adapter, a portable 2.8 kW option for standard sockets. ST MCU and LCD provide real‑time monitoring, 1–12 h scheduling and adjustable 1.3–7 kW power steps for off‑peak savings. IP65 TPU cable and multi‑fault protection ensure durability; FastDaddyshop consultants recommend a dedicated 32 A circuit and grounded mode.
The HOMCOM 7kW Type 2 EV Charger (Item label C20-115V01BK) is a robust 10 m charging cable and control unit designed for home and portable use across the UK. It supplies up to 7 kW (32 A) from AC 200–250 V with selectable current steps of 6/8/10/16/20/24/32 A, giving a practical power range from approximately 1.3 kW to 7 kW. From the practical experience of our consultants, this model suits owners of plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles who need a reliable, weatherproof cable with timer control and a long reach.
Key technical advantages include an ST MCU chip with an LCD for real‑time status, an IP65 TPU-sheathed cable rated for operating temperatures from −30°C to +50°C, and mechanical toughness tested to survive a 2‑ton vehicle runover, 1 m drops, 10,000+ plug cycles and 70,000+ cable bends. Our consultants often recommend a dedicated 32 A circuit if you plan to use the full 7 kW capacity; conversely, if you only have a standard 13 A socket, the supplied 3‑pin UK plug adapter limits output to about 2.8 kW and is best used as a temporary solution.
In practice, a 7 kW Type 2 charger such as this is appreciably quicker than common 3.6 kW home chargers: for a typical 60 kWh BEV, 7 kW will replenish roughly 35–40 miles of range per hour compared with c.18–20 miles per hour at 3.6 kW. Based on observations from our consultants, owners who frequently need faster home top-ups — or who have off‑peak tariffs — will prefer the 7 kW capability and the built‑in 1–12 hour delay/duration timer for scheduled charging.
There are a few practical cautions. Although the IP65 rating means the unit is dust tight and protected against low‑pressure water jets, it is not suitable for immersion. Our managers recommend installing or verifying a new wall socket for permanent use to prevent loose connections and overheating; do not use long extension leads. The unit offers both ground‑free mode for temporary, unearthed outlets and grounded mode for permanent installations — use grounded mode wherever possible for added safety.
Also described variously as the HOMCOM 7 kW EV charging cable, HOMCOM Type 2 to CEE 32A portable EV charger and HOMCOM 10 m Type 2 home charger, this unit combines long reach, adjustable current (6–32 A) and timing functions in a compact control box (23 x 9.5 x 5.5 cm). Based on the experience of FastDaddyshop store managers, it represents a strong value for drivers seeking a weatherproof, durable 7 kW solution with recognised safety certifications (CE, RoHS) and global insurance cover from PICC.
