Charge Your EV From Any Schuko Socket
The Liniotech LTN-AC3500-DE-00 is a portable Mode 2 EV charger that connects any electric car with a Type 2 inlet to a standard Schuko household socket. It delivers up to 3kW (13A at 230V) through a 4m cable. No installation, no wallbox and no app are needed: plug it in, and charging starts.
Not every parking spot has a wallbox. Maybe you're renting, waiting for an installer, visiting family or parked at a holiday home. Wherever you are, the LTN-AC3500-DE-00 turns an ordinary outlet into a safe EV charging point. Keep it in your boot, and you'll never be stuck without a way to charge.
Why Drivers Choose the LTN-AC3500-DE-00
Plug-and-play charging. Plug the Schuko end into the wall and the Type 2 connector into your car. Charging begins automatically, with nothing to configure and no account to set up.
Fits almost every European EV. The Type 2 connector is the European standard. As a result, it works with virtually every electric car and plug-in hybrid sold in Europe, including EU-version Tesla Model 3 and Model Y.
Safe 13A charging current. The charger limits current to 13A. That keeps the load within what a sound household socket can handle for hours at a time, which is exactly what overnight charging demands.
Six layers of electrical protection. The control box guards against overcurrent, residual current, surges, over- and under-voltage, over- and under-frequency, and overheating. On top of that, it includes 6mA DC leakage detection to IEC 62955, which helps protect your home's RCD from DC fault currents.
Tough enough to live in your car. The control box is rated IP65 against dust and water jets and IK10 against impact. So rain, road grime and the odd drop won't stop it. It also works from -22°F to 122°F (-30°C to 50°C).
Clear status at a glance. Green, yellow and red LEDs show standby, charging and fault status instantly, with no screen to decode.
Light and compact. At 1.9kg, it packs into its carry bag and fits easily in the boot or frunk.
How Fast Does a 3kW Portable Charger Charge?
At 3kW, the LTN-AC3500-DE-00 adds roughly 15–20 km (10–12 miles) of range per hour, depending on your car's efficiency. That works out to about 150–190 km (95–120 miles) over a 10-hour overnight charge, which covers most daily commutes many times over.
Times are estimates at roughly 2.8kW delivered to the battery. Cold weather and your car's onboard charger can affect them.
Where the LTN-AC3500-DE-00 Fits Best
Renters and apartment residents. Charge from an existing outlet in your garage or parking space, with no permanent installation and nothing to leave behind when you move.
Backup to your wallbox. Keep a reliable second charger for travel, holiday homes or the day your wallbox needs service.
Plug-in hybrid owners. PHEV batteries are small, so 3kW fills most of them overnight or even during a workday.
Road trips and visits. Top up at a friend's house, a guesthouse or a holiday rental wherever there's a Schuko socket.
Safe Charging From a Household Socket
Charging an EV means drawing high current for many hours, so the socket matters. For safe, reliable charging, follow these rules:
- Plug into a dedicated, undamaged Schuko socket, ideally one checked by an electrician.
- Never use extension cables, cable reels or adapters.
- Make sure an RCD protects the circuit.
- Check the plug and socket now and then. If either feels hot, stop charging and have the wiring inspected.
- If you charge at home every day, consider a fixed wallbox for faster, more efficient charging.
Not for US Vehicles
This charger uses a European Schuko plug and a Type 2 connector at 230V. US vehicles use J1772 or NACS inlets, and US homes use different outlets. For US charging, choose our UL-listed EV chargers instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Mode 2 EV charger?
A Mode 2 charger plugs into a standard household socket and uses a control box built into the cable. The box manages communication with the car and protects against electrical faults. That makes it portable, with no wallbox or installation required.
Will this charger work with my car?
It works with any EV or plug-in hybrid that has a Type 2 charging inlet. That covers nearly every model sold in Europe, including EU-version Teslas. It does not fit US J1772 or NACS vehicles.
How long does it take to charge an EV at 3kW?
At 3kW, you add about 15–20 km of range per hour. A typical plug-in hybrid charges fully in 3–4 hours, while a 60kWh EV takes about 12–13 hours to go from 20% to 80%.
Is it safe to charge an EV from a Schuko socket?
Yes, when the socket and wiring are in good condition. The charger caps current at 13A and includes residual current and 6mA DC leakage protection. However, always use a dedicated socket, never an extension cable, and have older wiring checked by an electrician.
Can I leave the charger outdoors?
The control box is rated IP65, so it handles rain and dust during charging. Still, keep the Schuko plug end in a covered socket, because household plugs aren't designed for exposure to rain.
Do I need an app or an account?
No. It's plug and play. Connect the charger to the wall and your car, and charging starts automatically.
What do the LED colours mean?
The green, yellow and red LEDs show standby, charging and fault status. Check the included manual for the exact light patterns.
What warranty does it have?
The LTN-AC3500-DE-00 includes a 2-year warranty from Liniotech.
