Reduce direct compression
A compatible line sits inside a dedicated channel instead of directly under the door seal.

The cable should not be the doorstop.
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.

These workbench photos show the current black PETG guards, the green EVCD mark, and the charger cable the product was designed to help route beneath a closed garage door.
EV charging cable context
Match the guard to the line.
The white EV connector and black charging cable are shown beside the guards for scale. Measure the cable’s outside diameter before selecting a channel.
Current production family
Solo, Duo, and Trio capacity.
Arc and Ridge profiles give you a compact single route or multiple independent channels for EV cables and compatible utility lines.
Why the Defender family exists
Keep the garage closed without giving up the connection.
Limit the open gap
Route a line without leaving the garage fully open to outdoor heat, flies, and insects.
Organize multiple routes
Duo and Trio models separate two or three compatible lines for multi-EV and mixed-use setups.
No permanent installation
Position the guard at the threshold, route each line straight through, and verify the door before use.
One product family, several jobs
Choose the capacity you actually use.
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
Charge outside. Close the garage.
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
Two vehicles. Two separate channels.
Duo models organize two compatible charging lines while the garage door stays closed across the threshold.
Digital visualizationBeyond charging
One EV line. One utility line.
Use independent channels for a compatible EV cable and an air hose, extension cord, or low-voltage line—each measured before use.
Ridge Duo • two channelsThree channels. One closed threshold.
Charge. Power. Inflate.
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.

Measure first. Route straight. Close gently.
Give the cable you invested in a better path outside.
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.
