A cable-tidy apparatus 10 suitable for an electric-vehicle charging cable 14, the cable-tidy apparatus 10 comprises a support-element housing 32, and a support-element spool 28a mounted for rotation within the housing 32. The apparatus further comprises a winding mechanism (figure 3, 30) suitable for the support-element spool 28a, is windable in a retraction direction, and a releasable control mechanism (figure 2, 62) which selectably controls the winding mechanism (figure 3, 30). The invention further comprises a flexible elongate support element 40 which is windable on the support-element spool 28a, and a cable connector 42 at an end of said support element 40 by which an electric-vehicle charging cable 14 is engageable at a position along its length. Another aspect further comprises a second spool 28b and a second support element 40 connected to the cable 14 by a connector 42 at a second point along the cable 14.
