During product development, together with graduate designer Stephan Gahlow from Hamburg, the focus was on an ergonomic and attractive design, a modern and aesthetic use of form, and robust and high-quality materials. The charging cables clearly won over the international, independent expert juries with these product characteristics.

For a consistent appearance of your brand, we can produce our AC charging connectors with your logo on request – imprinted or as a UV- and weather-resistant plastic label.

In the case of the charging cable, our portfolio offers various cable lengths and conductor cross-sections, metric, and AWG cables, as well as spiraled and straight cables. If your preferred combination is not available, then we can also manufacture a customer-specific item for you. We can supply the cable end with a step cut, preassembled, or compacted, upon request.

Electric car is charged in the carport at an AC home charger with a permanently attached charging cable

Our charging cables with a free cable end are ideal for mounting on AC wall boxes for private use, e.g. in a carport or garage. These charging cables only have a charging connector on the vehicle side. This makes handling much easier electric car drivers. They only have to plug the charging cable into the vehicle, unlike for home chargers with a charging socket, where they also have to connect the cable to the home charger.

Electric car charges at public charging station via a mobile mode 3 charging cable

Most public charging stations are equipped with a charging socket instead of a permanently attached charging cable, as this is less susceptible to vandalism and requires less frequent maintenance. To connect and charge a vehicle here, our mobile mode 3 charging cables are the ideal solution. They feature both a vehicle charging connector and an infrastructure charging plug.

NACS is coming – and we’re prepared The first NACS charging cables will be available in Q4/2024

The North American Charging Standard (NACS) is gaining momentum and will replace the CCS type 1 charging standard in the long term. NACS will therefore play a central role in the electrification of the transport sector and the ramp-up of charging infrastructure in North America.

As a specialist in e-mobility charging technology, we of course want to satisfy the changing requirements of our customers and therefore offer SAE-compliant and UL-certified NACS charging cables that meet the particularly high demands.
