EV Cable Bag
Quick recommendation
The EV Cable Bag solves the problem every new EV driver meets in the first wet month. You unplug in the rain, the lead goes back in the boot soaking, and a fortnight later the boot carpet is grey and the cable smells of road grit. Give the lead a home and that stops happening.
This is a hardback bag rather than a loose sack, so it keeps its shape when the cable is coiled inside and it does not collapse into a heap every time you lift it out. It is fully waterproof, so a lead that went in dripping stays sealed away from everything else you carry. It is also dust and corrosion resistant, which matters more than people expect, because the damage a charging cable actually suffers is grit working into the pins of the connector rather than anything dramatic.
It carries up to a 10m charging cable, which is the size most people own. If you have one of our 5m leads it will sit inside with plenty of slack. A 10m lead fills it properly. Carry handles are fitted, so moving it from boot to garage is a one handed job rather than a wrestle with a wet loop of cable.
A word on where the bag lives. Most drivers keep it flat in the boot well or under the floor panel, which stops the coil shifting about on roundabouts and keeps the weight low. If you charge at home overnight and only carry a cable for trips, the garage shelf works just as well and the bag keeps dust off between journeys.
Where does it sit in our range? This is the standard bag, the one to buy alongside a first cable. Our larger storage bag takes up to a 15m lead if yours is longer, and the hard carry case adds a rigid shell if your cable gets stood on or has heavy items loaded on top of it in the boot.
UK orders qualify for same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm.
EV Cable Bag FAQs
What fits inside the EV Cable Bag?
It carries up to a 10m charging cable. That covers our 5m and 10m Type 2 leads comfortably. A 5m cable leaves room to spare, while a 10m lead fills the bag properly. If your cable is longer than 10 metres, choose our large storage bag instead, which takes up to 15m.
Will a 10m 32A cable fit in this bag?
Yes. A 10m 32A lead is the largest cable this bag is designed around, so it goes in, but coil it loosely in wide loops first rather than winding it tight. Tight winding stresses the cable where it meets each connector and makes it harder to get the zip closed.
Is the EV Cable Bag waterproof?
Yes. The listing states fully waterproof, so a lead that comes off a wet charge point can go straight in without soaking whatever else is in your boot. It is also dust and corrosion resistant, which keeps grit away from the connector pins where it does the real long term damage.
Does it stop my boot getting dirty?
That is the main reason people buy one. A coiled cable sheds water, road salt and grit straight onto the boot carpet every time it is thrown in loose. Sealed inside the bag, none of that reaches the car, and you are not lifting shopping out over a wet loop of cable.
How is this different from your other cable bags?
This is the standard bag for a 5m or 10m lead. The large storage bag takes a longer cable, up to 15m. The hard carry case is the same 10m capacity but adds a rigid shell for a cable that gets crushed under luggage. Pick on cable length first, then on how much protection you want.
Do I need a bag if my cable already came with one?
Not necessarily, though many drivers end up with two. One lives permanently in the boot for public charging and the other stays in the garage with the home lead, so neither cable is ever the one you left behind. A spare also helps if the original has split at a seam.
