Power Your Christmas Lights from Your EV Charger – The Safe & Smart Way

Light up your garden the smart way this Christmas. With more EV chargers than ever installed across the UK, many homeowners are asking: can I power my Christmas lights from my EV wallbox? The answer is yes — safely and simply when you use the new all-in-one MotorCables Type-2 EV Charger to Weatherproof 4-Gang Socket with RCD.

The Complete Outdoor Power Kit

This single, purpose-built unit includes everything you need for safe, weatherproof outdoor power directly from your EV charge point:

• Type-2 EV plug — connects securely to your wallbox.
• In-line RCD safety module — protects against electric shock.
• 5-metre TITANEX HO7RN-F cable — flexible, heavy-duty, outdoor-rated.
• Dark-green IP54 weatherproof enclosure — houses a 4-gang UK socket strip.

Built for Safety, Designed for Convenience

The cable, RCD and Type-2 plug are all finished in matching black and neatly coil up inside the weatherproof box for tidy storage. When closed, the enclosure keeps sockets and timers dry, providing a clean IP54-rated outdoor setup. It’s the ideal way to run your Christmas lights, garden tools or patio heaters without trailing leads from the house.

How to Set It Up

1. Plug the Type-2 connector into your EV wallbox socket.
2. Connect your plugs or timers into the 4-gang socket strip inside the weatherproof box.
3. Replace the rubber cable sealing strip and close the box securely.
4. Press the reset button on the in-line RCD to activate power.
5. You now have a clean, RCD-protected outdoor power source — perfect for festive lighting or garden displays.
