Everything else we sell for keeping a charging lead tidy is a bag. This one is built to be sat on, stacked on and loaded over, which is what actually happens to anything that lives in a car boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThink about how a boot gets used. The cable goes in first because it is always there, then the weekly shop goes on top, then a suitcase, then a folded pushchair. A soft bag flattens under that and the connectors inside take the load. A hardback case holds its shape and takes the weight itself, which is the whole argument for spending more than you would on a plain bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is fully waterproof, so a lead that came off a charge point in the rain can be shut away without any of that water reaching the boot floor. It is dust and corrosion resistant as well, keeping grit clear of the connector pins where it does the slow damage nobody notices until a charge fails. The opening is zipped, so it closes completely rather than gaping when the case is tipped on its side, and carry handles are fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCapacity is up to a 10m charging cable, which covers our 5m and 10m Type 2 leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing between our storage options is mostly about two questions. How long is your cable, and how rough is your boot? If your lead is longer than 10 metres, our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/large-ev-charging-cable-bag\"\u003elarge storage bag\u003c\/a\u003e goes to 15m. If your boot is gently used and you only want the cable contained, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ev-cable-bag\"\u003estandard EV cable bag\u003c\/a\u003e does that for less. Take this one when the case needs to survive being buried under luggage. UK delivery is free on the next working day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHard EV Cable Carry Case FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat can I fit in the hard carry case?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to a 10m charging cable, which takes in both of the lengths most drivers own. A 5m lead sits inside loosely. A 10m lead fills it as intended. For anything above 10 metres, our large storage bag is the right choice because it is rated to hold a 15m cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes a 10m 32A cable go in?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt does. The 10m capacity is quoted with a full thickness 32A lead in mind, not a thin one. Coil it in wide, loose loops before it goes in. That way the zip closes without pressure and the cable is not held in a tight bend right where it enters each connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the carry case waterproof?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The case is specified as fully waterproof, so a wet cable can go straight in after unplugging without soaking whatever else is in the boot. Alongside that it is dust and corrosion resistant, which protects the pins inside the connectors from the fine grit that circulates in any car boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it stop my boot getting dirty?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and it goes further than a soft bag can. A loose lead spreads water and road salt over the carpet. Zipped in here, that stays contained, and because the case is rigid it will not seep or transfer damp through the sides when other luggage presses down on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy choose this over your softer bags?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtection against being crushed. A soft bag keeps a cable clean but offers nothing when a heavy case lands on it. The hard version holds its shape, so the connectors are not taking the weight of your luggage. If your boot is mostly empty, a softer bag is the sensible saving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it for a tethered wallbox cable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and it is worth saying why. A tethered cable is wired permanently into your charge point, so it never comes off to be stored. This case is for a portable lead that travels in the car. If your only cable is tethered, a wall bracket is the accessory you actually want.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53793701101904,"sku":"EVPOW-BAG-1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/6789\/0256\/files\/bag-1_f0d622fa-a786-4362-b73b-f53f8d683646.jpg?v=1791779826","url":"https:\/\/shop.hammertimed.com\/products\/ev-cable-carry-case-hard-version-rrp-39-99","provider":"Hammer Timed Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
