📘 Product Overview
The device for rolling the EV charger cable is designed to maintain a "suspended" position for the cable, preventing it from touching the ground and minimizing friction. This effectively balances the tension from the coiled spring with the cable's own weight, enhancing the aesthetics of the charging station while also prolonging the lifespan of the cable.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the primary function of the EV Cable Retractor?
The retractor uses a spring-loaded system to keep the charging cable suspended, preventing it from touching the ground. This reduces wear, prevents tangling, and eliminates trip hazards.
2. Is this retractor compatible with all charging cables?
It is compatible with most standard Level 1 and Level 2 charging cables that have a diameter of up to 21mm.
3. Does the product include the EV charger and cord?
No, the retractor is a cable management system and does not include the EV charger or the power cord themselves.
4. What are the installation options?
The device is highly flexible and can be mounted directly onto a wall, a pole, or a pedestal/ground-mounted base.
5. How does the spring tension protect the charging plug?
The retract tension is designed to decrease along the retract range. This ensures that the pull-back force is minimized while the vehicle is charging, protecting the plug connection.
6. What materials is the retractor made of?
The housing is constructed from high-quality steel with a durable powder coating, and the tether is made from heavy-duty 500LBS capacity nylon paracord.
