A light pipe (50,60,70,80,90,100) is for an EV charging handle (2). The EV charging handle includes a housing (4) having a thru hole, and a light source (14,16,18,22) coupled to the housing. The light pipe includes a body structured to be coupled to the light source in order to transmit light from the light source through the thru hole of the housing, the body having a first side portion (82) having a first interior surface (83) having a first surface roughness, and a second side portion (84) extending from the first side portion, the second side portion having a second interior surface (85) having a second surface roughness greater than the first surface roughness in order to increase a visibility range with which the light is transmitted through the thru hole of the housing.
