Choose theft protection suited to your charging cable: a stored connector, an accessory to secure or a cable at risk of being cut.
“Anti-theft” covers several different uses. During charging, the connector is held by the locking system built into the car and the charger. Between sessions, a removable cable left outside or a connector lying on the ground calls for a different routine. In a car park open to the public, the cable length itself can be exposed to damage. Start by identifying your situation before comparing accessories.
Dock Code is a wall holder with a mechanical combination lock. It holds the connector once it is unplugged and stored. Compare the outer shape of your handle with the product page: this solution is not designed to lock a connector during charging and does not prevent the accessible cable length from being cut.
A Tether supplementary security cable meets a need for extra retention, provided suitable attachment points are available. Never squeeze the electrical cable or hinder its use. Lock J is for compatible J1772 adapters: always check your configuration. An accessory designed for a J1772 adapter is not a universal Type 2 lock.
Professional mechanical protection needs to be assessed against the charger model, the cable diameter, its length and the movement needed for charging. The CatStrap EV Cable Shield product page presents the AC 3 m kit, which you can configure and order online. The AC 3 m configuration without DyeDefender is priced at €499; other projects are quoted individually. None of these devices guarantees that theft cannot occur.
A holder, a bag and a cut-resistant sleeve therefore serve different purposes. For a removable cable that travels with the vehicle, storing it in a locked boot is an option to build into your routine. For everyday organisation, see also our collection of cable holders and bags.
Our guide to preventing charging cable theft details the use cases. The comparison of cut-resistant protection helps you prepare a car park project. A photo of the connector and its location is enough to start an advice request with Proctelec.
No. Dock Code holds the Type 2 connector when it is unplugged and stored on the wall. During charging, locking depends on the systems built into the car and the charger.
CatStrap’s EV Cable Shield kit (AC 3 m, €499) addresses this risk. Check compatibility with your charger and cable; other configurations are quoted individually.
No. Lock J is designed for compatible J1772 adapters. Check your configuration before ordering.
No. An anti-theft device makes opportunistic theft harder without guaranteeing that theft cannot occur. Combine it with a storage routine and the locking provided by the vehicle.
