Low-price portable EV charging with useful controls, but not class-leading

Is the EVJUICION EV Charger worth buying? Yes, if you want a low-cost portable 3-pin charger with useful controls and you’re happy to accept a 3.1kW ceiling. At £129.99, it sits below its £141.96 average price and is currently flagged as the all-time lowest price, which makes it more attractive than usual for UK drivers who need occasional home charging from a standard socket.

First impressions

The headline appeal here is straightforward: this is a 15m portable Type 2 to 3-pin EV charger with 6A–13A current control, a 2.4-inch LCD screen, IP67 protection, and a 12-hour delayed start function. That combination is practical for UK households that don’t want the cost or commitment of a wallbox, especially if you’re charging overnight from a domestic plug and want to manage load more carefully.

The long 15m cable is a genuine selling point for awkward driveways, on-street parking close to home, or situations where the socket is not ideally positioned. Many portable chargers are shorter, so the extra reach adds real convenience.

What the key features mean in real use

The charger’s maximum output is 3.1kW at 13A, which is standard for a portable 3-pin setup rather than a fast home charger. That means it’s suitable for topping up overnight, not rapid replenishment. The adjustable current modes, listed as 6A–10A for lower-power charging and up to 13A, are useful if you want to reduce strain on older wiring or charge more cautiously when other appliances are running.

The 2.4-inch LCD screen adds value because it shows key live data such as temperature and charging status. For a portable charger, that matters: visibility helps you spot abnormal conditions early and gives more confidence than a basic “plug in and hope” device.

Safety is another strong point on paper. Evjuicion says the charger is UKCA, CE, and RoHS certified and includes multi-layer protection against overheating. That certification set is reassuring for a product that will often be used unattended overnight. The IP67 rating also suggests strong resistance to dust and water ingress, which is important for a cable that may be used outdoors in typical UK weather.

Performance assessment

For the right buyer, performance is about consistency rather than speed. A 3.1kW portable charger is never going to compete with a 7.4kW wall-mounted unit, but it can still be very effective for daily mileage top-ups, plug-in hybrids, and EV owners who drive moderate distances. The delayed start up to 12 hours is especially useful if you want to shift charging into off-peak periods or simply start when household demand is lower.

The 99% compatibility claim for European/UK EVs compliant with IEC 62196-2 post-2016 standards is broad, but buyers should still confirm their vehicle connector type before ordering. The product is clearly aimed at Type 2 EVs and PHEVs, which covers most modern UK and European plug-in cars.

Build quality and design

The charger uses a high-grade PC/ABS composite and the control box is said to withstand 1.5-tonne compression forces and 1-metre drops. Those are useful durability claims for a portable unit that may be carried in and out of a boot, stored in a garage, or used in less-than-perfect conditions.

The inclusion of 6 variations across colours, sizes, and storage options is also helpful if you want to tailor the setup to your vehicle or storage habits. The 2-year warranty plus lifetime technical assistance is another positive, especially at this price point.

Value for money

At £129.99, this charger is cheaper than the VORSPRUNG portable charger at £145.95 and much cheaper than the evec VEC01 wall charger at £314.99. It also undercuts the ChargeHere portable charger at £135.99, although that rival has a higher 4.9★ rating. Against that backdrop, EVJUICION’s 4.1★ rating from 25 reviews is respectable, but not class-leading.

The value case is strongest if you want a portable charger with a long cable, adjustable current, and a screen, without paying wallbox money. The downside is that the rating and review count suggest it is not the most consistently loved option in the category.

How does it compare to alternatives?

Compared with VORSPRUNG’s £145.95 portable charger, the EVJUICION is cheaper and offers a similar portable use case, but the VORSPRUNG edges it on rating at 4.2★ vs 4.1★. Against ChargeHere at £135.99, EVJUICION is slightly cheaper and currently at an all-time low, but ChargeHere’s 4.9★ strongly suggests better buyer satisfaction. The evec VEC01 is in a different category entirely: it is a 7.4kW wall-mounted charger at £314.99, so it suits homeowners wanting faster, permanent charging rather than a portable backup.

Bottom line on usefulness

This is best viewed as a practical, budget-conscious portable charger for UK drivers who value flexibility over speed. It is not the best-rated option, and the 3-pin format means slow charging by design, but the combination of £129.99 pricing, 15m reach, 13A maximum current, LCD monitoring, and 2-year warranty makes it a genuinely useful buy for the right household.
