Roam partners with CatStrap to prevent cable theft
Protecting EV chargers with smart solutions against cable theft.
As the EV charging industry continues to grow, so does the need for reliable, secure infrastructure.
One of the most pressing challenges operators are facing right now is cable theft, where copper from rapid charger cables is stolen, leading to costly repairs, site downtime and disrupted charging for drivers.
At Roam, we're focused on staying one step ahead. It's not just about expanding access to fast charging, it's also about protecting the infrastructure behind it. That's why we've partnered with CatStrap, a market leader in automotive anti-theft technology, to introduce a smart new layer of protection across our network.
Proven protection against cable theft
Through this partnership, all Roam rapid chargers now come equipped with CatStrap's cable theft prevention system, a tried-and-tested solution that's already helping save thousands in repair costs and significantly reducing charger downtime.
The technology uses ultra-hardened steel strips encased in a flexible, protective sleeve, making the cables extremely difficult to steal. Despite being tough on theft, it's quick to install and easy to roll out across any site.
Why this matters
Cable theft has become a growing issue across the EV sector. Rapid charging hubs are being targeted for the copper inside their cables. While the value of the metal is low, the damage and disruption caused by these thefts is high.
The industry is responding with a range of preventative technologies, and our partnership with CatStrap is a key part of that. It's helping keep chargers live, reducing service interruptions and keeping drivers on the road.
Keeping things reliable for everyone
At Roam, we know that the future of EV charging depends on more than just access. It depends on reliability. That's why we're investing in smart, secure infrastructure that supports the entire EV ecosystem.
Working with innovators like CatStrap means we can continue to improve the charging experience, reduce risk for site partners and keep drivers focused on what matters - getting a charge when and where they need it, without unexpected interruptions.
We offer both fast and rapid chargers. Fast chargers are ideal for longer charging sessions, while rapid chargers can give you a quicker top-up in under an hour.
We offer a range of fast and rapid chargers, tailored to suit your site’s needs and expected usage patterns. Our team will recommend the best option based on your business type.
Roam chargers are compatible with most electric vehicles, including those using Type 2 and CCS connectors. Always check your EV's charging port type.
