Every Evtronix Pro Series charger comes with a bonus adapter that lets you charge from a normal 10A power point. It is one of the most useful things in the box, and it comes with one golden rule: set the charger to 10A first.
Which adapter came with my charger?
- 3.3 kW: 15A to 10A adapter
- 7.2 kW: 32A single-phase to 10A adapter
- 11 kW: 16A three-phase to 10A adapter
- 22 kW: 32A three-phase to 10A adapter
Replacement and extra adapters are sold separately.
Why set 10A first?
Your charger is built to draw more current than a normal power point is rated for. The adapter changes the plug shape, but it can’t change what the charger draws. Setting the charger to 10A tells it to stay within what the power point and its circuit are designed to supply.
How to use the adapter: four steps
- Connect the adapter to your charger’s plug, then plug the adapter into the 10A power point and switch it on.
- Set the current to 10A. Press the A button until the screen shows 10A, before you connect the car.
- Plug the Type 2 connector into your car. The charger and car complete their handshake, and charging starts.
- Check the screen shows charging, with current at or below 10A.
If you are unsure about a circuit, you can set the current lower than 10A. The car simply charges more slowly.
How fast does it charge on 10A?
About 10–15 km of range per hour, the same as the cable that came with most cars. That is roughly 100–150 km overnight. The adapter is about flexibility: charging wherever there is a power point, with the protections, screen and timer of your Evtronix charger.
Safety tips
- Plug directly into the wall. No extension leads, power boards or double adaptors.
- Keep the adapter connection off wet ground and out of the rain where possible.
- If the plug or outlet feels hot, stop and get the outlet checked by an electrician.
- Remember to set the current back up when you return to your full-rated outlet.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if I forget to set 10A?
The charger may try to draw more than the power point is designed for, which can overheat the outlet or trip the circuit. Always set 10A first.
Can I use the adapter every day?
Yes, on a power point in good condition that is not shared with other heavy loads.
Is charging through the adapter faster than my car’s cable?
No. On 10A both charge at about the same speed. The benefit is flexibility, protections and control.
Key takeaways
- Every Evtronix charger includes a bonus 10A adapter
- Always set the charger to 10A before connecting the car
- Expect about 10–15 km of range per hour
- Plug straight into the wall, never into an extension lead
