Security Through Obscurity:
Why We Don’t Share All

Protecting Information, Protecting Infrastructure
CableGuard® is designed to tackle one of the EV industry’s fastest-growing threats: cable theft. While we openly share the fundamentals such as cut-resistant sleeves, forensic traceability, retrofit-ready design; we deliberately keep the finer details under wraps. Revealing every element publicly risks informing those with ill intent, making infrastructure more vulnerable rather than safer.
Some Details Stay Hidden for a Reason
By keeping the inner workings of CableGuard® out of the public domain, we ensure criminals can’t study, copy, or plan around the system. This principle of security through obscurity is a proven strategy across industries, where revealing too much detail weakens protection. For operators, it means peace of mind that their assets are defended by a system thieves can’t easily anticipate.
Why You Need To Speak To Us
For charge point operators and infrastructure owners, the complete story is available but only in the right setting.
The best way to understand CableGuard®’s capabilities, versions, and site-specific applications is through a private meeting with our team. We’ll walk you through exactly how the system works and how it can protect your estate, without risking sensitive details falling into the wrong hands.

“Infrastructure protection is vital to our mission of delivering a reliable and accessible EV charging network…

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”

Delvin Lane | Chief Executive Officer | InstaVolt

“By working with product developers and operators, we were able to review real-world need and application of the CableGuard product.

Using our proven practices, we then undertook full product testing to understand the impact on the electrical and mechanical charger components, as well as the user experience. This process was essential to help our customers benefit from an approved strong theft deterrent, whilst maintaining the reliability of the Kempower’s EV charger hardware.”

Lee Barnett | Solution & Service Manager for the UK & Ireland - Kempower
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.

Interactive Cable Theft Calculator

This calculator lets you plug in real site figures from cable count and revenue per kWh to average daily sessions and downtime to get a tailored cost estimate of a potential theft incident. It also shows how that compares to the cost of installing CableGuard® as a preventative measure.
