Ease and speed of storage

Storing a coiled cable offers significant time savings thanks to its natural ability to roll itself up. Not only are these cables easier to store, they also reduce the risk of clutter, making them an ideal choice for both home and workplace use. Depending on the parking location relative to the charging station, different lengths are available from Voldt:

• 5-meter cables: Suitable for home or workplace charging stations where the car can be parked nearby.
• 8-meter cables: Unique in the market! Ideal for situations where the car is farther from the charging station or when you need to charge in different locations.

Reduced Exposure to dirt and wear.

coiled cables offer a smart solution for reducing dirt and wear, contributing to the durability and reliability of electric vehicle charging. Due to their unique design, these cables stay at a distance from the ground during charging, significantly reducing dirt accumulation. This aspect is further enhanced by the integrated springs in the cable, which ensure that the cable does not come into contact with the ground and is therefore less likely to become dirty.

Safety advantages

coiled cables significantly increase safety when charging electric vehicles due to their thoughtful design and functionalities. Here are some safety advantages highlighted:

• Weather resistance: Voldt's coil cables (as well as all other cables) are waterproof (IP65 certification) when connected to both the car and the charging station. This makes them safe for use in all weather conditions, so don't worry about rain or snow while charging.
• Ergonomic and durable design:
• Each end of our coil cables is equipped with an ergonomically shaped handle, making connecting and disconnecting smooth and easy.
• The plugs are made from 1 part. Thus, no screws or glue are used to assemble them.
• The contact pins are made of 100% copper and silver-plated to prevent rust and corrosion.

These features highlight how Voldt's coiled cables not only provide ease of use, but also add an extra layer of safety to electric vehicle charging.

Cost consideration

When considering coiled cable versus straight charging cable for electric vehicles, price plays an important role in decision making. Here is a detailed comparison based on cost:

coiled cables have a more complex manufacturing process than straight cables, resulting in higher costs, and will still quickly be 30% more expensive than a straight charging cable. But the convenience and durability speak for themselves.

Conclusion

Clearly, there are several advantages to using a coiled charging cable to charge your electric car. The design offers unparalleled flexibility, space savings and durability. In addition to minimizing exposure to dirt and wear, these cables increase the safety and efficiency of the charging process, making them a worthwhile investment for any EV owner.

Considering the purchase of a coil cable requires consideration of both initial costs and long-term benefits. Given coverage under certain insurance policies for possible damage or theft, along with the inherent advantages in terms of safety, durability and convenience, choosing a coil cable can contribute significantly to a positive electric vehicle experience.
