A cable duct for the charging cable can be a particularly good idea. Charging cables that lie on the ground or pavement can easily become damaged. If you want to ensure that the charging cable lasts longer and that you can charge more safely, then the cable duct for the car's charging cable is a good investment. In some cases, it is even mandatory to run the charging cable to the car via a cable duct.
Cable duct for electric car charging cable: the biggest advantages
The cable duct for the EV charging cable has many advantages. We have listed the biggest advantages for you:
- Covers less area than a charging cable mat.
- No more risk of tripping or obstruction for disabled people.
- Better protection of the charging cable , which significantly extends the life of the charging cable.
- No risk of damaging the contacts by tugging on the charging cable.
- Charging cable hidden from view.
Do you always need a cable duct for your charging cable?
There is no one who can force you to use a cable duct for the charging cable of your electric car when both the charging station , charging cable and electric car remain exclusively on your own property while charging the car. Of course, this also applies to the mobile home charger . That does not mean that it is not wise, because charging cables can easily be unnecessarily and critically damaged when the charging cables are walked or driven over. A cable duct ensures that the charging cable lasts longer, because no one stands directly on the cable and the pressure is better distributed when you, accidentally or otherwise, drive over the charging cable.
However, if you have a charging cable on the pavement in public space and you have received permission from the municipality (in all other cases this is illegal), then it may be that the use of a cable mat or cable duct for the charging cable of the electric car is mandatory. In that case, a cable duct is necessary.
Improvisation is in most cases unwise and often not allowed
Is the charging cable lying on the ground on your own property? A cable duct can also be a good idea. What you should definitely not do under any circumstances is improvise with materials. There are many examples of people who have damaged their charging cables by, for example, making a duct for their charging cables with planks or other (hard) materials.
If the cable is on municipal land, you always need an approved cable duct. Especially here, improvisation is undesirable, not allowed and in many situations even dangerous because material can shift and cause dangerous situations. First contact the municipality. In the past, several municipalities have laid cable bricks themselves, which makes the installation of the cable duct and charging cable even easier.
Quality charging cables also benefit from a cable duct
