Use your own off-peak electricity.
Keep the cable clean and off the ground.
No more coiling the cable when not in use.
Avoid creating a trip hazard on grass, gravelled,
or very uneven, surfaces - where
a channel or gully would not work.
The FlexEV wands allow great flexibility in where the car is parked:
Semi-detached Driveways
How Does it Work?
The charging cable is laid out straight on the ground and marked with a
piece of tape at about
2.5m from the car end.
The cable is then fixed to the wands
at intervals, either with double sided velcro wraps
(for ease of disassembly), or with a spiral cable wrap for neatness.
Then you can simply slot the assembly into the base wand, and take the plug
to the car's charging port.
The 'base wand' is fixed to a vertical post or wall using just three
screws and cable clips.
Three further rods are slotted together and laid beside the cable, with the
tip aligned with the mark on the cable.
When not in use, the wand can be swung around into a stowage position parallel to the wall:-
...or, if the cable is not permanently connected, the wand and cable can be retrieved in one piece,
and taken indoors:-
... or dismantled in about 2 minutes (if velcro wraps are used).
If the wall is more than about 1.2m high, it may be necessary to offset the base wand from the wall so that the cable does not chafe on top edge of the wall.

If you don't have a suitable gatepost, wall, fence, or pole, you may want to erect a new post for the base wand.
