3 Pin Charger For Charging a Citroen C-Zero With A 13A Socket
Charge your Citroen C-Zero at your home, office or anywhere that has a 13A 3 pin Type G plug socket (BS 1363) with our Type 1 portable charging cable.
Our portable chargers (also known as a granny cable or home charger) will charge the Citroen C-Zero up to 2.3kW.
Plug this 3 pin charger into a 13A socket and charge your EV at 10A. This charger is recommended as an emergency back-up. For example, if you are visiting an area without any charging facilities nearby.
If you are using a 13A socket to charge your EV for longer periods, we recommend our adjustable 3 pin EV charger.
Is This Type 1 to 3 Pin Charger Suitable For The Citroen C-Zero?
Choosing The Right Charger
The Citroen C-Zero has a Type 1 socket as standard. Therefore, this 3 pin charger is compatible with the Citroen C-Zero.
Charging an EV for long periods with a 13A socket may cause thermal damage to the socket. For example, the socket might overheat if the socket has damaged, if there is faulty wiring, or if the electrical circuit is overloaded. It is rare, but it does happen.
For this reason, we strongly recommend having an electrician inspect the intended socket to certify its suitability for EV charging. This assessment should include factors such as the duration (e.g., 4 hours charging at a time), and the frequency of EV charging (e.g., daily).
Avoid using an extension lead or adapter with this 3 pin charger. Plug the charger directly into the vehicle socket of the Citroen C-Zero. Ensure that water does not come into contact with the prongs of the 3-pin plug or enters inside the Type 2 plug. Keep the charger dry when not in use. Before usage, be sure to read the user booklet included with the charger.
Please note that the manufacturer of this vehicle did not manufacture this charging cable.
EV Cable Bag And Case
We provide a canvas cable bag (suitable for cables up to 10M) to store this charger when not in use. The bag can also be upgraded to a cable carrier case made from EVA material, which has improved waterproof and impact protection. The EVA case has an elasticated strap in the bottom compartment and elasticated mesh pocket in the top to allow convenient storage of two cables. The EVA case can hold two cables, provided each cable is no longer than 10 meters (with a total combined length of 20 meters) and is neatly wound. You can replace the canvas cable bag with an EVA case by selecting the option available in the basket or on the checkout page.
