Extended 8.5m EvoFlek Cable for Flexible Charging
The Andersen A2 A2785MBMB features an extra-long 8.5m EvoFlek tethered charging cable, making it particularly suitable for households requiring additional reach between the charging point and vehicle.
The lightweight, highly flexible cable allows convenient connection to vehicles parked in different positions and accommodates a variety of charging port locations. Its innovative design allows the cable to be wrapped clockwise or anti-clockwise around the charging unit for easy storage.
The extended cable length makes this model a practical choice for larger driveways, multi-vehicle households and installations where the charger cannot be positioned immediately beside the vehicle.

Discreet Cable Management and Premium Design
Unlike conventional EV chargers with exposed cable hooks, the Andersen A2 incorporates a unique concealed cable storage system. The 8.5m tethered charging cable wraps neatly around the unit, while a magnetic lid hides the Type 2 connector when not in use.
This innovative design helps maintain a tidy driveway without external cable holders. The Midnight Black finish, slimline profile and high-quality aluminium and stainless steel construction create a sophisticated appearance that complements modern homes.
Solar Compatibility and Adaptive Load Management
The Andersen A2 supports solar-compatible charging, allowing households with a suitably configured solar PV system to make greater use of their renewable electricity generation.
Its adaptive load management system monitors household electrical demand using a wired current sensor and adjusts charging power when necessary. This helps manage peak electrical loads and reduces the risk of overloading the property's electrical supply.
These intelligent features provide greater flexibility for homeowners looking to manage electricity consumption and charging costs.
Durable Construction and Outdoor Protection
Manufactured from robust aluminium and stainless steel, the Andersen A2 is designed for dependable outdoor use. Its IP65-rated enclosure provides protection against dust and water jets, while the Type 2 charging plug has an IP44 rating.
