What is an 11kW portable EV charger?

An 11kW portable EV charger (following the European standard) is a Type 2 electric vehicle charger designed for convenience and flexibility within European electrical systems.

Unlike permanently installed chargers, portable chargers can be easily moved and used in different locations, provided there's a compatible power outlet.

An 11kW charger indicates the maximum power output it can deliver, allowing for significantly faster charging compared to standard household outlets.

An 11kW portable EV charger works by drawing power from a suitable electrical outlet (typically a three-phase connection at 400V, common in many European electrical installations) and converting it into a form that can safely and efficiently charge your electric vehicle's battery.

It communicates with your EV to regulate the charging process and ensure optimal charging.

An 11kW portable EV charger is ideal for several scenarios within Europe:

  • Individuals who need a charging solution at multiple locations: For example, at a second home, a rental property, or when visiting family or friends where a suitable outlet is available.
  • EV owners who don't have a permanently installed charger: It can serve as a primary charging solution, especially if you have access to a compatible three-phase outlet.
  • Businesses or event organizers in Europe: Providing temporary charging solutions for employees or attendees.
  • As a backup charging option: For added peace of mind in case your primary charger malfunctions.

The charging speed depends on your EV's maximum charging capacity and the size of its battery.

An 11kW charger can typically add around 50-70 kilometers (approximately 30-45 miles) of range per hour of charging. This is significantly faster than charging from a standard household socket.

Most modern electric vehicles sold in Europe are compatible with charging using a Type 2 connector, which is the standard in Europe. An 11kW charger will typically have a Type 2 connector.

However, it's crucial to check your vehicle's charging specifications to ensure it can accept an 11kW charge rate.

Some EVs might have a lower maximum charging capacity. The charger will only deliver the maximum power that your car can handle.

An 11kW portable charger requires a specific high-power outlet, which is typically a three-phase, 16-ampere outlet with a 400V connection.

The specific type of connector will be an IEC 60309 (often referred to as a 400V/16A Red CEE plug).

It is absolutely essential to consult with a qualified electrician to ensure you have the correct and safe outlet installed for an 11kW charger. Using an incompatible outlet can be extremely dangerous.

The 11kW portable EV chargers include additional features like:

Delay & Timer Functions: Enabling you to schedule charging for off-peak hours to potentially save on electricity costs.


Adjustable Charging Current: Allowing you to limit the power draw if needed.


Built-in Safety Features: Residual current device (RCD) protection.
