Description
The grid is everywhere. The socket you need is not. That gap is where a portable charger earns its place in the boot: a relative's driveway, a holiday rental with an outside socket, a workplace car park that has not been wired for charging yet. The Roadside Current turns any suitable single-phase outlet into a charging point you brought with you.
Output is adjustable across 6A, 8A, 10A, 13A and 16A, delivering up to 3.6KW on a 110V to 240V supply, which means you can dial the current down to match a weak circuit or up when the supply is solid. A 2.8 inch LCD on the control box shows real-time status, charging current and connection state, with LED indicators backing it up. Over WiFi and Bluetooth the companion app adds scheduled off-peak charging and live status tracking, which is the difference between paying peak rates and paying attention.
The safety engineering is the part worth reading twice. Contacts are copper alloy with silver plating, the connector is IP66 rated against water and dust, and the control box carries lightning, leakage, over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, short-circuit, ground and flame-retardant protection. The leakage protection is Type B, AC 30mA plus DC 6mA, which is the standard that matters for DC fault current. It is CE, UKCA and RoHS certified, rated from -30 °C to +65 °C, built for more than 10,000 mating cycles, and supplied with a 5 m cable plus mounting brackets and a carry bag.
Charge on your own schedule, in the places the charging networks never built.

Where It Belongs
The Roadside Current belongs in the boot of any EV used beyond its home charger. It is the overnight answer at a holiday cottage with a single outside socket, the practical fallback at a workplace that has not installed chargers, the shared solution in a household with two electric cars and one wall box, or the difference between reaching a remote destination and turning back. Because the current is adjustable, it also works on older or lightly rated circuits where a fixed 16A draw would trip a breaker. Type 2 is the standard connector across European vehicles, so it covers the majority of cars on the road in those markets, and the app scheduling lets an overnight charge run in the cheapest off-peak window without anyone standing in the cold to plug it in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this on a normal household socket?
A: Yes, provided the circuit and socket are in good condition. That is exactly why the current is adjustable from 6A upwards: on a lightly rated circuit, charge at 6A or 8A rather than 16A.
Q: What is Type B leakage protection and why does it matter?
A: Type B covers DC fault current as well as AC, at 30mA AC and 6mA DC. For EV charging, a DC-sensitive device is the correct standard rather than an AC-only unit.
Q: Does the app work without internet?
A: Bluetooth handles local control and monitoring. WiFi is what enables scheduling and remote status, so connect the charger to a network if you want off-peak timers.
Q: Which cars does the Type 2 connector fit?
A: It fits vehicles with a Type 2 inlet, which is the standard for European EVs. If your car uses a different inlet, you need a different cable, not an adapter held together by hope.
Q: How long is the cable and what comes in the box?
A: The cable is 5 metres. The box contains the charger, a control box bracket, a charging gun bracket, a carry bag and a pack of screws.
Q: Can it be left outside in the rain?
A: The connector is IP66 rated for water and dust in the working state, and the operating range runs from -30 °C to +65 °C. That said, treat the control box with care and avoid standing water.
Q: What warranty is offered?
A: One year, plus lifetime technical support. If something fails, contact us first and we will resolve it before you consider a return.
