A cable tensioning assembly 10 for an electric vehicle cable reel 18 has an inner roller 12, which may be frustroconically shaped, and an outer roller 14, which may be in the shape of a bobbin, for interfacing with a cable 56. A rotational axis of the inner roller 12 and a rotational axis of the outer roller 14 are offset with the cable extending in a serpentine manner through the rollers with the inner roller possibly having a cable grip 58. The rollers may have axles 44, 46 and be driven by a motor 64 and a gearing mechanism to provide speed control. The assembly may have a cavity 78 between the rollers allowing the cable to be removed.
