Leoni will showcase its concept for cooled charging cables for electric and hybrid vehicles at the IZB trade fair

Leoni, the leading European provider of cables and cable systems to the automotive sector and other industries, is, in the field of electromobility, working on solutions for cooled charging systems. Corresponding cables, which are fixed to charging stations, can carry higher currents and thereby help to dramatically shorten the times to charge electric and hybrid vehicles. Leoni will present a concept at the International Suppliers Fair (IZB) in Wolfsburg (Hall 4, Stand 4102).

Long charging times are a disadvantage for drivers of electric cars and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and also inhibit greater popularity of such vehicles. Furthermore, the number of vehicles that need to be charged at such hotspots as motorway services will rise. The introduction of fast charging stations will consequently be a key to the success of electromobility. Concepts are currently being developed that will enable charging times of three to five minutes for a range of 100 kilometres.
