A replaceable tip at the end of the connector.

The connection points are at the end of the charging wand. ProTip mounts there and takes all the wear. When it is worn, just swap in a new tip.

Where the wear lands

Wear happens at the tip

The tip touches the vehicle, hits the pavement when dropped, and is handled by every user. Weather wears it down every day.

Nothing else on the connector takes that much abuse. That is why failures happen there first.

Every driver who plugs in wears the tip.

Two ways a worn connector gets handled

With ProTip, you replace the tip. Without it, you replace the whole assembly.

Both start with a tip that is finished. What differs is whether there is a part on it to change.

The tip comes off. The wand and cable stay.

  • Without a replaceable tip

    If there is nothing to replace, the whole connector and cable need swapping. You need an electrician.

  • The stall waits

    Ordering a cable and hiring a pro takes time and approvals. The stall stays blocked until it’s done.

  • With a replaceable tip

    With ProTip, the worn tip comes off in seconds and a new one goes on. The cable and charger never leave service.

  • What you are buying

    A simple part you can stock and reorder. No approvals needed.

A question we get

Why manufacturers have not done this

Manufacturers sell the whole assembly, so replacements mean bigger sales for them. A replaceable tip changes that.

That is why ProTip is sold directly to charger owners, not manufacturers.
