Will a Wottz cable work with my Alpine A390?
Yes. The Alpine A390 uses a Type 2 connector, which is the standard for EVs sold in the UK and Europe. All Wottz Type 2 cables are fully compatible.
Our untethered cable (Type 2 to Type 2) works at any public or workplace charge point with a Type 2 socket. The tethered cable is a direct replacement for your home wallbox cable. And the portable charger lets you charge from a regular 3-pin socket without a wallbox.
V2L capable: Your Alpine A390 supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), meaning you can use its battery to power appliances and devices. You will need a V2L discharge cable to do this.
Frequently asked questions
-
The Alpine A390 uses a Type 2 connector. For charging at home with a wallbox, you need a Type 2 to Type 2 untethered cable (or a tethered replacement cable if your wallbox has a socket). For charging from a regular plug socket, use a portable charger with a Type 2 connector.
-
The Alpine A390 supports AC charging up to 11.0kW. With a 11.0kW home wallbox, a typical charge from 10% to 80% takes around 4 hours. From a standard 3-pin socket using a portable charger (2.3kW), the same charge takes around 20 hours. Most Alpine A390 owners charge overnight, so even slower speeds are usually fine for daily driving.
-
Yes. A portable charger lets you charge your Alpine A390 from any standard UK 13A socket at 2.3kW. It is slower than a dedicated wallbox, but perfectly safe and practical for overnight charging or as a backup when you are away from home. Many owners keep a portable charger in the boot for exactly this reason.
-
It depends on the distance between your charge point and your car's charging port. For most home setups, a 5m cable is plenty. If your charger is on the opposite side of a garage or driveway, go for 7.5m or 10m. Measure the distance and add a metre or two for comfort. Longer cables are heavier, so do not buy more than you need.
-
Yes. The Alpine A390 supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), which lets you draw power from the car's battery to run appliances, power tools, or even your home during an outage. You will need a V2L discharge cable, which plugs into the car's charge port and provides a standard UK socket on the other end. The Wottz V2L cable is available with 1-gang or 2-gang outputs in multiple lengths.
-
Every Wottz cable comes with a comprehensive warranty and is built to last. Our cables are IP55 rated, CE certified, and tested to work in temperatures from -30°C to +60°C. We also offer a cable repair service and optional Wottz Care protection plan for complete peace of mind.
