The present invention relates to a vehicle charging cable having a selective and controllable shape-memory. Selective shape memory cables of the present disclosure can advantageously adopt a different shape and/or forget a passively inherent thermoset shape, for example a spiral. Such selective shape memory cables have particular application for charging EVs and plug-in HEVs and may comprise a body; one or more primary wires accommodated by the body; a first means for biasing a region of the body (such as a thermosetting bias); and a second means for biasing all or part of said region of the body. The second means being responsive to an external stimulus, such as an electric current so that the second biasing means can be actively operated.
