This is a case, and a case also keeps the cable intact. The difference shows up over years rather than weeks: no crushed coils, no pressure on the connector heads, no grit ground into the pins by a sliding toolbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the car is a work vehicle, or the boot carries anything heavier than shopping, this is the one that survives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA coiled charging lead with room for the control box of a portable charger alongside it. Lay the heads on top of the coil, zip it, and it will sit under a load without complaint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it lives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the boot for most owners, since that is where the cable needs to be. At home it stacks on a shelf without slumping, which a soft bag will not do. If the lead never leaves the house, a wall bracket is a cheaper answer and kinder to the cable, because nothing gets coiled at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"evp-see-also\"\u003eSee also: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ev-cable-bag-hard-version\"\u003ehardback storage bag\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/10m-ev-charging-cables\"\u003e10m charging cable\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/accessories\"\u003eaccessories\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHard carry case questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose a case over a bag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of what happens on top of it. A case takes the load and the cable inside keeps its shape, so the connectors are never pressed or twisted.
