There are many types of insulation materials for electric vehicle charging cables, each with its own characteristics and advantages. The following are several common insulation materials and their main differences: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): PVC is a common cable insulation material, but in recent years its use in cables has been gradually reduced due to increased environmental protection requirements.PVC contains hazardous substances such as lead, which has been banned under the RoHS Directive. Therefore, although PVC has a certain application history in the field of cable insulation, it is now more often replaced by other environmentally friendly materials. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE): XLPE is an excellent cable insulation material with outstanding electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. Compared with PVC, XLPE has better high temperature resistance and can maintain stable insulation properties in high temperature environments. Therefore, the application of XLPE as an insulating layer material in high-voltage cables for electric vehicles is gradually increasing. Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE): TPE, as an environmentally friendly material, is also gradually being used in the field of cable insulation. It combines the advantages of rubber and plastic with excellent elasticity and processing performance. At the same time, TPE also has good electrical properties and weather resistance, which can meet the insulation requirements of electric vehicle charging cables. In summary, the insulation materials for electric vehicle charging cables have their own characteristics, and the selection needs to be weighed according to the specific application scenarios and needs. In practical application, it is also necessary to consider the processing performance of the material, cost and environmental requirements and other factors. With the continuous progress of technology and environmental protection requirements, the future of electric vehicle charging cable insulation materials will be more diverse and environmentally friendly.
