Has quickly become the leading manufacturer of EV charging cables in Europe

DEFA signs agreement with three world leading automotive companies

The Norwegian technology company DEFA has signed substantial agreements with three world leading manufacturers of EVs and plug-in hybrids for delivery of EV charging cables. This has given DEFA the position as one of the largest suppliers of EV charging cables in Europe. The cables are also available through retail and dealerships under the name eConnect.

Over the last few years, DEFA has established itself as one of Europe’s leading providers of charging solutions for electric vehicles. The range of premium EV charging cables was the first of a series of product developments by DEFA research and development team in the Nordics.

"Our goal has always been to create the ultimate charging cable for EV owners. That several of the world’s largest car manufacturers have considered our cables the best choice for their customers confirms that we are providing something unique", says Bård Klungseth, CEO in the DEFA Group.

According to DEFA, a wide range of technical and design innovations separate eConnect from other cables on the market.

"Everything from comprehensive user testing to the choice of materials and smart design has ensured that eConnect provides better user experiences in all conditions", says Klungseth. "Our cables are extremely flexible even in low temperatures, and smart features and accessory makes them very user-friendly. eConnect have also been developed specifically to be recyclable. These innovations are the reasons why leading brands want our cables".

The cables are manufactured at DEFAs production plant at Nesbyen, Norway.

"This is just the beginning. We have connected vehicles to the electric grid for 60 years, and we have unique knowhow that few other companies globally can match", says Klungseth.
