CableGuard™ – EV Cable Theft Deterrent System
Cable theft protection
What is CableGuard™
CableGuard™ is a product aimed at tackling the rising threat of EV charger cable theft.
In short, intelligent design incorporates high-tech cut-resistant materials to increase the time and effort exerted at each cable along with criminal traceability via a forensic liquid to actively deter and identify cable theft attempts.
Designing a solution that answers the industry’s call
Identified an urgent need: EV cable theft was eroding trust and uptime across networks – especially at large, high-traffic hub sites.
Invented with purpose: Designed in-house by Formula Space, CableGuard™ combines a cut-resistant outer sleeve with forensic traceability – the only dual-protection system in the EV space.
No compromise on UX: Engineered to look and feel like a standard cable, adding negligible weight, zero bulk, and no impact on handling or user experience.
Patent-pending innovation: A world-first EV-specific security solution, combining physical deterrence and legal traceability into one retrofit-ready kit.
Rolling out at scale without disrupting networks
Fast to install, easy to scale: CableGuard™ doesn’t require cable removal, fitting seamlessly on both new and existing sites without major downtime.
Complete retrofit kits: Supplied with all components, allowing CPOs to protect live infrastructure at their discretion.
Live deployments underway: Hundreds of installations have been carried out across multiple continents and charge point operators.
Free-issue integration: Delivered as part of Formula Space’s wider above-ground solution portfolio, ready to deploy in coordination with site branding, crash protection, signage, CCTV and more.
Ongoing value for operators and users
Forensic traceability = conviction: Technology that reports 100% conviction rate where forensic marking systems are used in court and 98% reduction in repeat attacks on marked infrastructure
Built to last: Abrasion-resistant, breathable and water-repellent, with 90% of materials recyclable at end of life
Supports safer, more secure networks: Helping operators reduce downtime, rebuild trust, and protect site investments.
Modular by design: Fully compatible with cable management systems and scalable across all site setups and chargers.
Part of the bigger picture: CableGuard™ is more than a product – it’s part of our mission to design, protect and futureproof the EV charging space and the Formula Space Experience.
“Partnering with Formula Space on the development of CableGuard™ has allowed us to directly support a solution to the growing industry challenge of EV cable theft. I’m pleased to see the collaboration delivering a solution that we believe will make a real difference”
