Turn your EV wallbox into a safe outdoor power source. This custom-made adapter lets you connect standard UK plugs to any Type 2 EV charge point – perfect for powering garden lights, tools, or decorations without running long cables from the house.
Key Features

- 2 m 2.5 mm² heavy-duty flexible outdoor-grade cable
- Built-in 13 A fuse inside the 4-gang power strip for overload protection

How It Works
Plug the Type 2 connector into your EV wallbox to create a safe 230 V power supply through the fused 4-gang UK socket block. Perfect for powering Christmas lights, garden tools or portable equipment directly from your charge point.
Safety Guidance & Tips
This adapter is for temporary outdoor use only. Keep plugs sheltered from rain and avoid leaving it connected in wet conditions. Do not exceed 13 A total load. For added protection, pair it with our Masterplug ILRCDNG Inline RCD Adaptor to provide instant fault protection against electric shock.
Tip from the MotorCables team: When checking inside the socket block, don’t remove the outer screws too far – those small rubber washers keep it weather-sealed. That’s why we test them!
