Published on 7 december 2022 1 August 2023 Reading time : 2 minutes

More and more people are buying an electric car. This green solution has created a growing demand for charging stations. Especially in underground parking structures, it can be very difficult to first install a charging station and then add more charging stations later on. The Wieland flat cable provides the perfect solution.

The flat cable is an electric cable that has been flattened. Its shape offers various benefits with regard to installation. For example, flat cables are commonly used for decorative lighting in shopping areas. Ribbon cables can be installed in a plan-based manner. With special connectors, lights can be connected at any point without having to cut or strip the cable.

Flat cable for charging electric vehicles

As more and more people buy electric cars, parking structures need to offer more and more charging stations. This can be a challenge for HOAs. Installing multiple charging stations would require many round cables. All these cables would then have to be mounted in a cable duct. Adding new charging stations later on is difficult in this situation.

These problems can easily be avoided with the special Wieland podis flat cable for EV charging systems. The IP65 waterproof flat cable can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. As the cable does not have to be cut or stripped, it is easy to create a branching connection for a wall unit using the special flat cable adapters. In the future, wall units can easily be added or removed as needed.

Benefits of the flat cable

Besides the ease with which charging stations can be added or removed, using flat cables offers other benefits as well. As you only need to install the cable once, the installation process is around 66% faster than with a conventional installation. Additionally, the system can be expanded 88% faster and fewer materials are needed, which saves money. On average, using a podis flat cable is 30% cheaper than using a round cable.
