Abstract: Electrified vehicle charging equipment includes a charging cable having a cable body including insulated conductors surrounded by a sheath, the cable body including alternating first and second regions, the first regions containing a bistable resilient strip having a first extended stable state and a second curved stable state, the bistable resilient strip resisting an external force to move the first regions away from the first or second stable states and to move the first regions toward one of the first and second stable states when the first regions are not in the first or second stable states, a first plug connected to a first end of the cable body and configured to connect the plurality of insulated conductors to an electrified vehicle, and a second plug connected to a second end of the cable body and configured to connect the plurality of insulated conductors to a charging source.
