Meet the World's First Magnetic Charger Socket — Now Exclusively at Alert Electrical

Say goodbye to cable clutter forever. The Magcharge Magnetic Charger Socket is a genuinely groundbreaking product — and Alert Electrical is proud to be its exclusive UK electrical distributor.

We've all been there. You stumble to the bedside table in the dark, groping for a charging cable that has somehow vanished behind the furniture — again. Or you arrive at your desk to find someone has borrowed your USB charger and forgotten to return it. These small frustrations are part of daily life for almost every smartphone user, and until now, the solutions on offer have been incremental at best. A longer cable here, a wireless charging pad there. 

None of them has truly reinvented the way we power our phones from the wall, but Magcharge has done exactly that - and Alert Electrical is the first and only place in the UK where you can get your hands on it.

What Is the Magcharge Magnetic Charger Socket?

The Magcharge Magnetic Charger Socket is described by its creators as the world's first electrical outlet with built-in Qi2 wireless magnetic charging. Rather than relying on a separate charging pad, a trailing cable, or a USB adapter plugged into the wall, Magcharge integrates fast wireless charging technology directly into the faceplate of a standard wall socket. The result is a permanent, clutter-free, cable-free charging solution that lives in your wall.

Developed by the CED Group — a business with more than 30 years of experience in UK electrical manufacturing and distribution — Magcharge is the product of a dedicated, year-long innovation project. Using patented technology and bespoke engineering, the team set out to do something that no one had managed before: bring wireless charging to the installed electrical accessories market in a way that is genuinely elegant, genuinely practical, and genuinely future-proof.

"Through patented technology and bespoke engineering, Magcharge represents the next evolution beyond the standard USB socket — delivering seamless, cable-free charging built right into your wall." — Magcharge / CED Group

The technology at the heart of Magcharge is Qi2 — the latest-generation global wireless charging standard. If you have used Apple MagSafe charging, you will already be familiar with the concept. Qi2 uses a magnetic array to snap your smartphone into perfect alignment with the charging coil every single time, ensuring maximum power transfer with minimal energy waste or heat build-up.

Where Magcharge takes this a step further is the delivery mechanism. Instead of a charging disc sitting on your desk or nightstand, the Qi2 charging surface is embedded flush within the wall socket faceplate itself. You simply hold your compatible phone against the socket, the magnets snap it into position, and charging begins immediately at up to 15W — no cables, no adapters, no fuss.

Because the charger is hardwired directly to the mains, there are no loose peripherals to misplace or damage. It is always there, always ready, and always in exactly the right place.

The most obvious benefit is the one that will matter most to most people: no cable required. Magcharge delivers up to 15W of fast wireless power straight from the wall, without a single wire involved on the user's side. For hotel rooms, family homes, busy offices, and public spaces, this is a transformative upgrade over any existing solution.

2. Qi2 Certified — Fast, Safe, and Universally Compatible

Qi2 certification is not just a marketing badge. It is a guarantee that Magcharge meets rigorous international standards for wireless charging performance and safety. The standard includes built-in temperature control, overvoltage protection, and object detection, all of which work together to protect both the socket and the device being charged. Charging at up to 15W, it is compatible with the full Apple iPhone MagSafe range (iPhone 12 and newer), the Google Pixel 10, and a growing ecosystem of Qi2-enabled Android devices.

Magcharge has been designed with contemporary interiors firmly in mind. The faceplate features what the company calls an 'ultra-flat, ultra-matt' aesthetic — a clean, minimalist look that sits beautifully alongside modern decorative wiring accessories. The range is available in matt white, matt black, and satin chrome, meaning it will complement virtually any interior scheme from sleek Scandi minimalism to classic British elegance.

Despite the sophisticated technology inside, Magcharge is designed for a straightforward installation process. It is engineered to fit any standard 1-gang or 2-gang back box at 25mm depth — the same dimensions as a conventional UK wall socket. For any competent electrician, swapping out a standard socket for a Magcharge unit is a quick and routine task.

Because the charging surface is integrated into the wall, there are no trailing cables, no charging pads that can be knocked off a nightstand, and no loose adaptors that guests or colleagues can pocket by mistake. This makes Magcharge particularly attractive for hospitality, healthcare, co-working spaces, and any environment where security and tidiness are a priority.

Qi2 is an open standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium and is already supported by Apple, Google, and a rapidly expanding range of device manufacturers. Investing in Magcharge today means investing in a charging infrastructure that will remain relevant and compatible for years to come.

The Magcharge Range — Options Available at Alert Electrical

One of the things that makes Magcharge such a well-rounded product family is the breadth of options available. Whether you are upgrading a single bedside socket, re-wiring an entire hotel, or specifying sockets for a new build, there is a Magcharge configuration to suit your needs.

The 1-gang models replace a single socket with a dedicated Magcharge unit, ideal for bedside tables, hotel rooms, and individual desk positions. The 2-gang models go even further, pairing the Magcharge wireless charging surface with a conventional switched or unswitched 13-amp socket — so you still have a standard plug outlet available right alongside the wireless charger.

This makes the 2-gang options especially versatile for kitchens, living rooms, and offices where you need both traditional plug access and wireless phone charging in the same location.

All models are available to order now, exclusively through Alert Electrical

The short answer is: almost anyone with a compatible smartphone and a wall socket to upgrade. But there are some use cases where Magcharge is particularly compelling.

Homeowners will appreciate the permanent, tidy solution it provides for bedrooms, kitchens, and home offices — no more charging stations cluttering the worktop, no more cables tangled around the bedside lamp. Hotels and hospitality venues will find it invaluable for guest rooms and lobbies, where the combination of effortless charging and cable security addresses two challenges at once. 

Offices, co-working spaces, and public areas benefit from the durability and low-maintenance nature of a hardwired solution. And developers and contractors specifying new builds or refurbishments will find Magcharge a compelling way to add genuine, future-proof value to any residential or commercial project.

Device Compatibility — What Works with Magcharge?

Magcharge is Qi2-certified, which means it works seamlessly with:

All Apple iPhone models from iPhone 12 onwards (including iPhone 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 series) via MagSafe

Google Pixel 10 and other Qi2-enabled Android devices

Any future smartphone or device that adopts the Qi2 standard

For standard Qi-compatible devices without magnetic alignment, the socket will still provide wireless charging, though at reduced speeds. As the Qi2 ecosystem continues to expand — with more Android manufacturers adopting the standard — the range of compatible devices will only grow.

Alert Electrical has been supplying electrical products to trade professionals, contractors, and homeowners across the UK for many years, building a reputation for stocking high-quality, innovative products at competitive prices.

"No more cables disappearing behind the nightstand or adaptors getting borrowed — Magcharge is a fixed, peripheral-free charging solution." — Magcharge

Magcharge is designed for installation by a qualified electrician and is compatible with any standard UK 25mm back box, in both 1-gang and 2-gang formats. The faceplate swaps directly for a conventional socket faceplate, making it a retrofit-friendly option for both new builds and existing properties. The product is part of the broader CED Group Axent range of decorative wiring accessories, which means it can be specified alongside matching switches and sockets for a fully coordinated look throughout a property.

If you are a contractor, interior designer, or property developer looking to specify Magcharge across a larger project, Alert Electrical's trade team can assist with bulk pricing and project support.
