Barkan EV Cable Arm Receives U.S. Patent
From a real charging challenge to a patented overhead cable management system
Barkan Mounts is proud to announce that its innovative EV charging cable arm technology has been granted a U.S. patent (US 12,567,730). The patented system introduces a modular overhead cable support arm that elevates EV charging cables off the ground, improving safety, protecting equipment, and creating a more organized charging environment.

The idea behind the system originated from a real-world challenge experienced by Barkan’s founder and CEO, Lior Barkan. When charging an electric vehicle parked across a sidewalk, leaving the live charging cable on the ground was inconvenient and posed a safety risk. An improvised arm solution was installed to raise the cable above the sidewalk - a simple idea that eventually led to a fully engineered product line.
After using this improvised setup daily and discovering that no similar commercial solution existed, Barkan launched an intensive development process.
Within less than six months, the first production series of EV charging cable arms was completed, demonstrating the company’s engineering expertise and rapid execution.
Today, this innovation forms the foundation of Barkan’s Patented Overhead EV Cable Management System, designed to raise EV charging cables off the ground and support a wide range of charging scenarios — from Level 1 home charging to Level 3 DC fast charging.
By elevating and protecting the cable, the system reduces tripping hazards, prevents cable damage, and improves charging site organization in residential, commercial, and public environments.
The patent strengthens Barkan’s position as an innovator in EV charging infrastructure and helps protect the market from cheap imitations, ensuring partners and customers benefit from a differentiated and reliable solution.
With EV adoption accelerating worldwide, Barkan continues to focus on practical innovations that improve safety, usability, and the efficiency of EV charging environments.
