Product Overview

The VDLPOWER portable EV charger is a household charging device for electric vehicles. It complies with IEC 61851-1:2017 and IEC/EN 62752:2016 Mode 2 AC charging system standards. The charger consists of an AC charging connector (meeting EN 62196-2:2017 and SAE J1772), a control box on the cable, and a power plug.

1.1 Product Appearance

The portable EV charger features a charging connector at one end, a control box integrated into the cable, and a power plug at the other end.

Available power plug options include NEMA 14-50P, Type-1, Type-2, NEMA 6-20P, Schuko, UK, AUS, and CEE connectors.

1.2 Reference Standard

1.3 Product Specification

Note: Actual size is subject to the actual product.

1.4 Product Packing

The charger is packed in a five-layer corrugated carton with outer dimensions of 411mm x 36mm x 96mm. It also includes an exquisite storage bag (380mm x 320mm x 80mm) for easy carrying and protection against scratches.

For any questions, please contact the after-sales service team for technical support and solutions.

1.5 Charging Principle

The charging principle is governed by the Control Pilot (CP) signal. Status 1 indicates a connection failure with a low CP voltage (approx. 12V). Status 2 signifies a potential connection with a high CP voltage (approx. 9V), indicating the S1 switch is engaged and R3 is detected. Status 3 confirms a successful connection with a CP voltage between 6V and 9V, signifying that both the Over-current Protection Device (OBS) and power supply are operational, allowing charging to begin.

Note: According to IEC 61851-1: 2017, high level maximum error is ±1V.
