The number of charging solutions has increased rapidly in recent times. New developments and technologies have resulted in new charging stations , better charging cables and mobile chargers have also improved considerably. We are also seeing more and more in the field of charging accessories and solutions for practical implementation. Since not every solution is actually handy, practical and affordable, we will take a closer look at the suspension system for your charging cables. What are the advantages and disadvantages and do you really need suspension brackets for your charging cables?
Benefits of a hanging system for your charging cables
The advantages of a hanging system for your charging cables are of course clear. When you can easily hang up your charging cables, you know for sure that you can always find them and that they have a fixed place. Since the cables are hanging and therefore not on the floor or a workbench, the chance of damage to the charging cables is minimal. This ensures that you can charge safely and optimally for longer and that the lifespan of the charging cables is considerably longer.
A good hanging system for your charging cables also looks much better than cables that are hung or laid around a charging station. This is not only an advantage for private individuals, but also for entrepreneurs who want to ensure that the environment around the company also looks neat and professional.
A final advantage is often forgotten. When you place the mounting brackets for your charging cables at the right height, you hardly have to bend down to charge your electric car. After all, everything is at the right working height, which is particularly practical when you are elderly or less mobile.
Disadvantages of mounting brackets for charging cables
Are there any disadvantages to the mounting brackets for charging cables? Yes, certainly, although it is questionable to what extent these apply to you. First of all, a complete mounting system costs money. You can opt for the cheapest model on the market, but that means that you cannot optimally benefit from all the advantages of a mounting system for your charging cables.
Another disadvantage is that the system or brackets have to be mounted at a point where a lot of weight can hang. If your charging station and electric car are in a shed, it is not difficult to find a place for the mounting brackets. If the charging station is somewhere along the driveway, it quickly becomes more difficult, unless you are prepared to get to work with a shovel.
What are the alternatives if you do not want or cannot install a hanging system?
If you do not want or cannot install a suspension system, there are many alternatives. One of the best solutions is the storage bag for your charging cables. You can immediately give them a fixed place (the best place is in the trunk of the car, because then you always have the charging cables with you) and you know for sure that the charging cables remain in good condition.
Of course, you can also store your charging cables properly without a bag or hanging system. However, it often happens that the charging cables get left lying around somewhere and that can lead to dangerous situations. Do you feel that you do not have the discipline to tidy up the charging cables after every charge or do you want to be sure that your charging cables get the maximum lifespan at your home? Then we strongly recommend that you immediately think of a system to guarantee that the charging cables are stored properly. These can be mounting brackets, a hanging system for your charging cables, a charging cable bag or another system that suits your situation.
Taking good care of your charging cables will significantly extend their lifespan
Quality charging cables can last for years without any problems. But that only applies if you handle the cables well and use them correctly. Here are a few tips for you to extend their lifespan:
- Never leave charging cables hanging in the air while charging: this puts extra stress on the charging points and plugs.
- Do not leave charging cables lying on the ground after charging. There is a good chance that someone will step on the cables or drive over them. Although quality cables can easily survive this, it does cause unnecessary wear and risk of damage.
- Make sure that the charging cables are not exposed to rain, frost, snow or sun unnecessarily. Store them where the cables are sheltered until the next charging session.
- Purchase quality charging cables from a reputable brand. That way you can be sure that the cables will last a long time. All charging cables on our website are of exceptional quality and have a CE mark.
