  • LIQUID COOLED CHARGING CABLE AND CONNECTOR
    Publication number: 20200282851
    Abstract: A charging system for an electric vehicle is described. The charging system for an electric vehicle can have a power supply, a charging cable, a connector, and a cooling system. The charging cable can have a coolant conduit routed through the charging cable. The charging cable can also have a coolant return path formed within the charging cable jacket. The cooling system can pump coolant through the coolant conduit and coolant return path to remove heat from the charging cable during a charging process.
