Electric car charger AK-EC-23 GB/T LCD 1-phase 16A 3.8kW 5m

Home charging for electric cars from China

The Akyga® AK-EC-23 is a single-phase GBT charger designed for electric cars fitted with a Chinese GB/T connector. The device enables convenient and efficient charging of electric vehicles using AC current from a standard 230 V socket. It is a practical solution for owners of cars imported from China that are not directly compatible with the European CCS2 or Type 2 charging infrastructure.

The AK-EC-23 GB/T charger has a power output of 3.8 kW at 16 A, ensuring good performance when charging at home. This is the maximum power that can be obtained from a standard single-phase 230 V socket, which is why the device works well for overnight charging or when the vehicle is parked for a longer period.  

At the other end of the charger is a CEE 7/7 plug, compatible with both sockets with an earth pin and those with earth in the side contacts. This is a practical solution that allows you to charge your vehicle from any 230 V mains socket – in the garage, on the driveway or in a car park.  

The 5-metre cable ensures freedom of parking and ease of connection even when the car is parked further away from the power source. Thanks to the appropriate cable cross-section, the cable does not suffer excessive voltage drop, and its design guarantees reliability in everyday use.  

Comprehensive safety features

Safety features play a key role in everyday use. The GB/T charger features surge and overcurrent protection, as well as protection against overload, short circuits and overheating. If any irregularities are detected, the device will automatically stop charging, protecting both the vehicle and the charger itself.

The GB/T connector uses five conductive pins and a specific CAN protocol to communicate with the vehicle. The GB/T connector uses five conductive pins and a specific CAN protocol to communicate with the vehicle. The GB/T standard ensures compatibility for electric and hybrid vehicles intended for the Chinese market.

How GB/T charging works

• Connecting to a 230 V socket – Simply plug the CEE 7/7 plug into a standard mains socket. The charger is ready to use – no special installation or tools are required.

• Connecting to the vehicle – Connect the GB/T connector to the car’s charging port. The charger automatically recognises the vehicle’s parameters and negotiates the charging current in accordance with the GB/T standard – communication takes place via the CAN protocol, which ensures safe and efficient charging.

• Monitoring and completion – You can track the charging process on the LCD screen: voltage, current, temperature, time and energy consumed. Once the batteries are fully charged, the charger safely completes the process. If any irregularities are detected, the device will automatically stop charging.

• The entire process is intuitive and requires no specialist knowledge – simply connect and monitor.

Who is the GB/T AK-EC-23 charger for?

The ideal choice for:

• Owners of Chinese electric cars imported into Poland – GB/T connectors are standard equipment on all electric cars manufactured for the Chinese market, including models from BYD, NIO, Xpeng, Zeekr, Li Auto, Geely, Chery, Leapmotor, Wuling, Hongqi, Aion, Denza and Ora. If your vehicle has a GB/T port, the AK-EC-23 will ensure safe charging at home.
• People looking for a home solution without costly installations – a single-phase 230 V supply from a socket is standard in most homes. You don’t need a three-phase installation or a dedicated circuit – all you need is a socket with a 16 A fuse and a cable with a cross-section of at least 2.5 mm².
• Companies operating vehicle fleets from China – regulating the charging current prevents the electrical system at the depot from becoming overloaded, whilst the ability to monitor parameters on the LCD screen ensures full control over the process. A fast charger minimises downtime – batteries and chargers are key to efficient fleet management.
• Distributors and importers of electric vehicles – the growing market for cars imported from China means increasing customer demand for dedicated battery chargers with a GB/T port. The AK-EC-23 is a product with full documentation, CE certification and manufacturer support within the EU.
