Hangs a coiled lead beside the charge point instead of on the floor
Any length
Storage for a cable that lives in a boot
A charging cable comes back into the car wet, gritty and sometimes oily, and a boot carpet is a poor place to put it. Everything on this page exists to solve that, and the choice comes down to whether you want something soft that packs away or something rigid that holds its shape.
The table gives the maximum cable length each item takes, which is the only specification that really matters when you are choosing.
How the models differ, and where it matters
A zipped weatherproof bag is the everyday answer. It rolls up when empty, keeps water off the boot floor and costs the least, and for a 5 or 10 metre lead used a few times a week it is all most people need.
A hardback or hard shell case is the choice if the cable travels a lot or shares the boot with luggage. It keeps its shape, protects the connector heads from being crushed and stacks rather than slumping. The trade off is that it takes the same space whether it is full or empty.
The wall bracket solves a different problem. A coiled cable on a garage floor gets stood on, driven over and left in standing water, all of which damage the outer sheath long before the conductors give up. Hanging it beside the charge point is the single cheapest thing you can do to make a lead last.
Size by the longest cable you own rather than the one you use most. A 15 metre lead will not go into a bag made for 10, and a bag that is slightly too large costs nothing in practice.
One thing worth knowing about cable care
Coil a cable loosely in wide loops rather than tightly around your arm. Tight repeated coiling in the same place works the copper and the sheath at the same bend, and that is where a lead eventually fails. Let it dry before it goes into a closed bag if you can, though none of these are airtight.
How the cables are made
Free next working day delivery applies to everything on this page, and our cables themselves carry a two year warranty.
Any of the 10m rated bags or cases. The large storage bag takes up to 15m if you own a longer lead as well.
Soft bag or hard case?
A soft zipped bag for everyday use, because it packs away when empty. A hard case if the cable shares the boot with luggage or travels a lot.
Is the wall bracket worth it?
It is the cheapest way to make a cable last. A coiled lead on a garage floor gets stood on, driven over and left in water, all of which damage the sheath.
How should I coil a charging cable?
Loosely, in wide loops, and vary where the bends fall. Tight repeated coiling at the same point is where a lead eventually fails.
Do these fit any brand of cable?
Yes. They are sized by cable length rather than by connector, so they take a Type 1 or Type 2 lead equally.
