Reduce direct compression
A compatible line sits inside a dedicated channel instead of directly under the door seal.
EV Cable Defender • EVCD
A branded garage-door pass-through family designed to help reduce direct compression on compatible EV charging cables, cords, hoses, and low-voltage lines.
Route each line straight through the guard, perpendicular to the door.
Current R6 test printsBorn from a damaged charger
EVCD began with a practical lesson: repeatedly closing a garage door directly on a charging cable can create a damaging pinch point. The Defender gives a correctly sized line a shaped route beneath the door so the door bears on the guard instead of directly on the cable.
No protector can guarantee against damage. Confirm fit, alignment, door clearance, and safe equipment operation before every use.
Why the Defender family exists
A compatible line sits inside a dedicated channel instead of directly under the door seal.
Route a line without leaving the garage fully open to outdoor heat, flies, and insects.
Duo and Trio models separate two or three compatible lines for multi-EV and mixed-use setups.
Position the guard at the threshold, route each line straight through, and verify the door before use.
One product family, several jobs
Single for a dedicated EV line. Duo for a two-EV household or one EV plus a utility line. Trio for the most routing flexibility.
Digital visualizationThe original use
Give a correctly sized Level 2 charging cable a dedicated route beneath the door instead of placing the cable directly at the pinch point.
Digital visualizationFor two-EV homes
Duo models organize two compatible charging lines while the garage door stays closed across the threshold.
Digital visualizationBeyond charging
Use independent channels for a compatible EV cable and an air hose, extension cord, or low-voltage line—each measured before use.
Current R6 test printThree channels. One closed threshold.
The Trio family can separate a compatible EV cable, outdoor-rated extension cord, and air hose. The extension cord shown is for tools—not EV charging.
The EVCD family
Choose Arc for the compact arched profile or Ridge for the reinforced flat-top footprint. Then select Solo, Duo, or Trio capacity.

A compact, black PETG arch with one protected route for a correctly sized EV charging cable or utility line.

Two independent channels in a rounded arch body for two-EV homes and mixed garage projects.

Three compact channels for charging cables, a compatible extension cord, air hose, or low-voltage line.

A reinforced flat-top body with a broad footprint and one larger channel for demanding garage thresholds.

A dense, reinforced flat-top guard that separates two larger lines while distributing door contact across a wide base.

The largest EVCD combines three larger channels with the widest reinforced flat-top footprint.
The product cards use the approved R4 shield-and-cable EVCD mark over the current geometry references. Physical test-print photography is shown above; marketplace hero photos should be refreshed again as each production batch is photographed.

Measure first. Route straight. Close gently.
Choose a model, confirm the outside diameter of every line, place the guard perpendicular to the garage door, and test door clearance before regular use.
