Charging & installation guide

Plug in. Charge. Go.

Everything you need to charge safely with your K4. Always read the user manual supplied with your charger before first use.

Step by step

How to charge

Remove the caps

Take the protective caps off the Type 2 connector and the round adaptor connector.

Fit the right adaptor

Screw the 10A, 15A or 32A adaptor onto the round connector until it's firmly seated, then plug it into the matching outlet.

Select the current

Press the Amp button to choose 6, 8, 10, 13, 16 or 32A. Never select more current than the outlet and circuit are rated for.

Optional: timer or limit

Press Time to set a delay start (30-minute steps, up to 8 hours) or a kWh charge limit (5 to 100 kWh).

Plug into the car

Open your car's charge port and push the Type 2 connector in until it clicks. Charging starts automatically once the K4 confirms the connection.

Watch it charge

The colour screen shows energy delivered (kWh), elapsed time, amps, voltage and power (kW).

Unplug

Stop charging from your car (or unlock it), remove the Type 2 connector, then unplug from the wall. Refit the caps and pack the kit in its bag.

Electrical safety

Charge safely

  • Use a dedicated circuit protected by an RCD wherever possible.
  • Outlets used for regular charging, and all 32A outlets, should be installed or checked by a licensed electrician.
  • Never use extension leads, power boards or double adaptors.
  • Don't use the charger if the cable, plug or connector is damaged.
  • Keep the plug and outlet out of standing water and rain.
  • Don't force a connector that doesn't fit.
