Description
Turn your tethered EV charger into a safe outdoor power source. The MotorCables Type-2 to Schuko to CEE Converter Kit is a UK-engineered solution that allows you to power standard 230 V equipment directly from a tethered wallbox or fixed EV charging cable — something ordinary adapters cannot safely do.
How It Works
- The Type-2 plug connects to your EV wallbox or tethered charger outlet.
- It converts the output to a Schuko socket — the European 2-pin standard used across most of the EU — rated IP44 for splash resistance.
- The included Schuko-to-CEE 16 A Fly Lead connects to the Schuko outlet to provide a durable blue 16 A CEE socket for outdoor use.
This configuration safely activates tethered chargers by bypassing the internal control-pilot resistor limitation while maintaining full IP44 weather protection.
Key Features
- Works with tethered or detachable Type-2 chargers
- Maintains IP44 protection for outdoor and workshop use
- High-grade Schuko connectors compliant with EU standards
- 16 A / 230 V AC rating suitable for most portable tools and appliances
- Compact, purpose-built design — assembled and tested in the UK by MotorCables
Typical Uses
- Charging e-bikes and scooters directly from your EV charger
- Powering garden tools, vacuums or pressure washers
- Running caravan or camping appliances from a driveway wallbox
- Pair with 16 A Extension Leads for extra reach when powering equipment outdoors
Important Safety Information
- Ensure all plugs and connectors are secure and dry before use.
- Do not exceed 16 A continuous load.
- Use only with properly installed EV charging equipment.
- For maximum protection, use with our Masterplug Inline RCD.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Type-2 to Schuko to CEE Converter Kit work with tethered EV chargers?
Yes – it’s specifically engineered for tethered wallboxes and fixed EV cables, where ordinary Type-2 to CEE adapters fail due to the control-pilot resistor. It safely activates and outputs 230 V power.
Is the Type-2 to Schuko to CEE Converter Kit safe for outdoor use?
Yes – both the Schuko socket and the Schuko-to-CEE fly lead are IP44 rated, providing splash-resistant protection for outdoor environments.
Why can’t I use a standard Type-2 to CEE adapter on a tethered wallbox?
Standard adapters don’t activate tethered chargers because of the CP resistor circuit. This MotorCables kit uses a Schuko interface to safely trigger power delivery while maintaining weather resistance.
Can the Type-2 to Schuko to CEE Converter Kit power e-bikes and power tools?
Yes – it supports e-bike chargers, garden tools and camping equipment with Schuko or 16 A CEE connectors up to 230 V / 16 A.
