The bokman BKM23608 is a Type 2 to 3-pin plug portable EV charger with an 8-metre cable.

## Before you buy

- The listing is inconsistent on power: the title and customer-feedback summary state 2.3kW, while a feature claim says 2.99kW. Its 13A current is stated separately, so confirm the actual output for the offered unit. The listing also says a standard UK 3-pin socket is not suitable for long-term EV/PHEV charging and recommends a dedicated socket complying with BS 1363-2/EV, checked by a professional and installed with an RCD. It advises fully extending the cable and disconnecting immediately if abnormally high temperatures occur. The asserted compatibility standard is written as IEC 621962-2, so confirm compatibility with the vehicle and connector specification before buying.

## A good fit for

- EV or PHEV owners with a compatible Type 2 inlet who need a portable charger and have a suitable dedicated socket available.
- Buyers who need an 8-metre cable reach and are comfortable verifying the charger's output and socket installation requirements.

## Less suited to

- Anyone needing a charger for prolonged use from an ordinary UK 3-pin socket without first addressing the listing's dedicated-socket guidance.
- Buyers who require a confirmed 2.3kW or 2.99kW output without checking which figure applies.

## Customer feedback

Customer feedback describes useful everyday charging, including reports of overnight use at 2.3kW, easy operation, suitable cable reach and use with a Tesla Model Y. Some customers report no overheating, but that is an individual experience rather than a performance guarantee. These comments are relevant to the listed 8-metre cable and plug-in format, while the conflicting power figures mean buyers should verify the charger’s actual output for their installation.
- Positive themes: Customers report that the charger works well and is easy to use.
- Positive themes: Feedback mentions useful cable length, overnight charging and good functionality.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can this charger be used with a standard UK 3-pin socket?
The listing cautions that a standard BS1363 socket is not suitable for charging an EV or PHEV for a long time. It recommends a new socket compliant with BS 1363-2/EV, professional wiring checks and a dedicated socket with an RCD.
### What power does the BKM23608 provide?
The page conflicts: its title and customer-feedback summary refer to 2.3kW, while a feature claim says up to 2.99kW. It separately lists a maximum current of 13A. Confirm the applicable output before purchase.
### Is the charger suitable for every Type 2 vehicle?
The listing claims compatibility with most Type 2 BEVs and PHEVs and cites IEC 621962-2. Check your vehicle and the exact connector specification, as the listed standard text may need clarification.
### What should I do if the charger becomes unusually hot?
The listing advises fully extending the cable to minimise heat and disconnecting the charger immediately if abnormally high temperatures are detected.
