8 Best EV Chargers on Amazon UK (2026) — Reviewed & Ranked

Amazon Has Quietly Become a Real Charger Marketplace

Prime delivery, transparent buyer reviews, straightforward returns and pricing that undercuts most bundled installer deals. It's a reasonable place to buy — particularly for portable cables, where no electrician is involved, and increasingly for wallboxes priced below the big-brand installed packages.

Two categories sit on the site:

  • Wallbox chargers (7kW, hardwired). These still need a Part P certified electrician to fit. Buying the unit on Amazon and sourcing the install separately typically saves money versus a bundled package.
  • Portable chargers (granny cables, 2.3–3kW). Plug into a standard 13A socket; no installation required. Useful as a backup, at a holiday home or while waiting for a wallbox.

Everything here is Type 2 — compatible with every Tesla, every UK EV, every plug-in hybrid. We've limited the list to units with 4+ star ratings and enough reviews to trust the number.

Wallbox Chargers on Amazon UK

Permanent 7kW hardwired units. Order the box from Amazon, hire a Part P electrician for the fit — never wire a wallbox yourself.

Wallbox Pulsar Max 7.4kW — Best Overall

Wallbox Pulsar Max 7.4kW

Price: ~£589–649 | Rating: 4.4/5 on Amazon | Power: 7.4kW | Cable: 5m or 7m

The only premium-brand wallbox with a real Amazon presence, and one of the best home chargers on sale anywhere. Barely larger than a hardback book, with an LED halo ring that tells you the charge state from across the driveway. Full app control over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and OCPP; Alexa and Google Home integration; scheduled charging; energy monitoring; IP55 for outdoor mounting; 3-year warranty.

Who it's for: buyers who want a proven international-brand smart charger and will pay a little more for the depth of the software.

Masterplug Smart EV 7.4kW — Best Budget Wallbox

Masterplug Smart EV 7.4kW

Price: ~£350 | Rating: 4.3/5 on Amazon | Power: 7.4kW | Cable: 5m

Masterplug (owned by Luceco PLC) is a household name in UK electrical kit, and its wallbox undercuts most competitors by £100–200 while still including app control, off-peak scheduling, solar integration, energy monitoring, Wi-Fi + LAN + Bluetooth, IP55 and a 3-year warranty. UK-based technical support if anything goes wrong.

Who it's for: buyers who value a recognisable UK brand and would rather not pay premium prices for features they'll actually use.

evec VEC01 7.4kW — Best Value Smart Charger

evec VEC01 7.4kW

Price: ~£319–350 | Rating: 4.5/5 across review sites | Power: 3.7–7.4kW (adjustable) | Socket: Untethered Type 2

The cheapest smart wallbox we'd recommend, and a consistent favourite on independent review sites — Electric Car Guide and TopCharger both rate it highly. Adjustable 3.7–7.4kW output covers supplies that need to be throttled back, and the untethered socket takes Type 1 or Type 2 cables. OCPP 1.6J under the hood means it'll talk to most smart-tariff platforms as they mature.

Who it's for: the lowest-possible entry price to smart charging without losing scheduling or app control. Note: you'll need to buy a Type 2 cable separately.

Installation note. All three wallboxes above need a Part P certified electrician. Budget £400–600 for a standard fit. Renters and flat owners may be eligible for the OZEV grant — up to £500 off installation. For the end-to-end process, see our complete installation guide.

Portable EV Chargers on Amazon UK

Portable units (granny cables, Mode 2 cables) plug into a standard 13A socket and charge at 2.3–3.3kW — roughly 10–15 miles of range per hour, enough to fully charge most EVs overnight. No electrician needed.

Good reasons to own one: a backup while the wallbox is being installed; charging at a friend's house; a holiday home; an emergency cable in the boot; renting a property that doesn't allow a wallbox.

Syncwire Portable 5.5m — Best Premium Portable

Syncwire Portable EV Charger

Price: ~£175 | Rating: 4.4/5 on Amazon | Power: 3kW (adjustable 6–13A) | Cable: 5.5m

The most feature-rich portable on Amazon UK. The standout is a temperature-monitoring system that automatically throttles current if overheating is detected — a safety margin most portables don't offer. Total kWh tracking, adjustable current (6A/8A/10A/13A), an LED screen, timed-start for off-peak, IP66 weather-sealing, storage bag and wall bracket included.

Who it's for: the safest, most comprehensive portable going, for buyers who'll use it regularly enough to value the data.

PocketEV 7.5m — Best Compact Design

PocketEV Portable EV Charger

Price: ~£120–130 | Rating: 4.4/5 on Amazon | Power: 3.3kW (adjustable 6–13A) | Cable: 7.5m

Two things mark the PocketEV out. First, a slim plug housing that fits inside outdoor plug enclosures where chunkier rivals won't. Second, 3.3kW output — a fractionally faster charge than the usual 3kW. The 7.5m cable is the longest in this price bracket, and the large OLED display keeps charging data legible. IP67 cable; CE, TUV and UKCA certified; 2-year warranty with lifetime technical support.

Who it's for: anyone charging from a covered outdoor socket, or who wants a longer cable without paying for the 10m version.

EVDANCE 6.1m — Best Value Portable

EVDANCE Portable EV Charger

Price: ~£110–120 | Rating: 4.0/5 on Amazon | Power: 3kW (adjustable 6–13A) | Cable: 6.1m

Where EVDANCE separates itself is build quality documentation: the cable is crush-tested to 2 tonnes and rated for 10,000 bend cycles — roughly 15 years of daily use. Full 13A / 3kW at the socket, OLED display, IP66 weather rating, carry case included. Also available in a 10m version if the driveway demands it.

Who it's for: buyers who want durability data, not just claims, at a fair price.

Masterplug Mode 2 5m — Most Trusted Brand

Masterplug Mode 2 EV Charging Cable

Price: ~£104–125 | Rating: 4.5/5 on Amazon | Power: 2.4kW (10A max) | Cable: 5m

Masterplug makes the extension leads and plug adapters in half the kitchens in Britain, and its Mode 2 cable carries the same no-nonsense reputation. It's slower than the 13A rivals — 10A max gives 2.4kW rather than 3kW — but the brand longevity tells its own story. LCD display for charge rate, total delivered and fault alerts; delayed-start for off-peak; IP66 when connected; 3m, 5m, 10m and 15m lengths, with 10m available here.

Who it's for: buyers who'll pay a small speed penalty for a brand they've known for 20 years.

bokman 5m — Best Budget Portable

bokman Portable EV Charger

Price: ~£90 | Rating: 4.3/5 on Amazon | Power: 3kW (13A) | Cable: 5m

The cheapest portable on this list we'd actually stand behind. bokman skips the LCD screens and adjustable current of pricier units but keeps the full 13A / 3kW output on a TPU cable rated from -30C to +50C. IP65, carry bag and microfibre cleaning towel in the box, 2-year warranty.

Who it's for: the "just works" option. No frills, full speed, sensible money.

How to Choose

Wallbox or portable?

If you charge at home daily, a wallbox earns its keep. 7kW is roughly 3× a portable, and a wallbox is engineered for a decade of nightly cycles. See our full charger comparison for models not sold on Amazon.

A portable is the right answer for backup duty, for visiting family, or for rented properties where a wallbox isn't an option. Many wallbox owners still keep one in the boot.

What to look for in a portable

  • 13A vs 10A. 13A gives the full 3kW (10–15 miles/hour); 10A tops out at 2.4kW (8–10 miles/hour). Overnight, either is fine; for faster top-ups, 13A.
  • Cable length. 5m covers most driveways. 7.5–10m if the socket is further from where you park.
  • IP rating. IP65+ for outdoor use. IP67 is fully submersible — overkill but reassuring.
  • Display. An LCD or OLED showing kWh and rate makes costs legible and confirms the cable is doing its job.

Pair any charger with a smart tariff

Wallbox or portable, an EV tariff cuts charging costs by 60–75%. Off-peak rates of 7–9p/kWh against the ~28p/kWh standard rate compound into hundreds of pounds a year. See our best EV tariffs guide or full tariff comparison.
