Overview
The Alchemy Charge Portable EVSE 10A is the backup charger every EV owner should have in the boot or garage. When you’re away from home or your main charger fails, a portable EVSE that plugs into a standard GPO is invaluable.
Charging Speed Reality
At 2.4kW (10A x 240V), this charger adds approximately 12–15km of range per hour. To charge a 64kWh battery from flat takes approximately 27 hours. This is not a primary charging solution — it’s a top-up and emergency charger.
Practical Uses
Emergency charging at any location with a 10A GPO; overnight top-up at a friend’s house or holiday rental; backup if your primary charger fails; first charger while waiting for wall unit installation.
