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

Buyer guide

The best EV home chargers and portable cables on Amazon UK in 2026. Smart wallboxes and granny cables compared by capability, price and limitations.

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 and every plug-in hybrid. We compare documented capability, warranty, safety features and the practical limitation of each option.

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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 26.11p/kWh standard rate compound into hundreds of pounds a year. See our best EV tariffs guide or full tariff comparison.
