Commonly asked Questions and answers:
How long is the lead?
the lead is 50cm long, this is because this device serves as an adaptor for your existing CEE cable, if you have a cable designed to plug into a campsite electric hookup, you can just plug this outdoor safe cable into our product and then into your caravan to start accessing power!
How can I find EV Chargers?
We recommend an application called Zapmap, but google maps also works to access EV charge points.
Should I park in EV bays?
We recommend that you park next to the bay, and charge there, ensure you are considerate of EV users, if someone comes along who needs to charge their car, you should give way to them.
Does this work with all EV Chargers?
The OakEV Camper is compatible with all untethered chargers (bp pulse/podpoint, etc) this is because of the special microcontroller in the OakEV that constantly measures the incoming current and ensures that your caravan is safe!
Will this be safe with my caravan?
Yes, if your caravan can use site electrics, this device will be perfectly safe. It supplies no more power than what you can already draw from the campsite, no matter the power of the untethered charger. Our devices also contain some extra safety features, some of which are listed below:
- The cable is fully protected from overloads or short circuits, as it is fully RCD protected
- The connector lock can be easily released when required - as it communicates with the car charger just like an EV would
- If the charge point cannot supply the required power, the unit will not engage it, preventing an overdraw of current
- The product is fused at 16A, you will not be able to draw more current from it than 16A (which is what your caravan should be rated for)
