E-mobility – Charging cable for electric vehicles by LEONI

The megatrend – E-mobility – and the associated drive technology of the future continue to gain significance in an age of increasingly short supply of raw materials. 

The governments of numerous countries have made it their task to promote drive technology alternatives to the combustion engine. Many programmes have been and are still being launched, and subsidies are flowing into innovative developments in the industrialised countries.

LEONI, with its development expertise, is forging ahead with solutions in the field of e-mobility together with development partners. The current market development forecasts that, by 2020, electric car sales will have grown to more than 1 million units in Germany alone. 

Charging the electric vehicles is one of the challenges in this respect. Various scenarios for supplying the vehicle with energy are being discussed to solve the infrastructure issue. One option for charging the vehicle batteries is to provide charging stations. And here there is also debate over various different models for “filling up with electricity”. The requirement is for charging of electric vehicles to be possible at home just as at public electric charging stations in fast-charge mode.

LEONI already manufactures charging cables and is focused on proactively standardising such as cables together with its partners. In so doing, LEONI is benefiting from its decades-long experience in cable production and standardisation.
