    Abstract: An electric vehicle charging connector (100) comprising an external enclosure (104), an inner enclosure, and a compartment (102) for power contacts. The external enclosure (104) encloses an inner enclosure (103), and is configured to receive and guide a cable (101) from a back end (111) of the electric vehicle charging connector (100) to the inner enclosure (103) at a front end (113) of the electric vehicle charging connector (100). The inner enclosure (103) comprises the compartment (102) and is configured to provide the cable (101) to the compartment (102). The electric vehicle charging connector (100) further comprises a heat pipe (106) comprising an evaporator (107), and a condenser (109). The evaporator (107) is attached to a heat source in the compartment (102) inside the inner enclosure (102), configured to conduct heat from the heat source via the external enclosure (104) to the environment, wherein at least a part of the heat pipe (106) is arranged outside the external enclosure (104).

    Abstract: A system and method for a liquid cooled cable arrangement for high-power fast charging of electric vehicles includes a charging connector and a liquid cooled charging cable. The cable comprises several insulated positive and negative conductors for supplying charging current, an inner fluid channel and an outer fluid channel surrounding the inner fluid channel. The positive and negative conductors are arranged within the inner fluid channel. The charging connector includes at least a positive contact electrically connected to the positive conductors by a first connecting element, and a negative contact electrically connected to the negative conductors by a second connecting element. The first and second connecting elements include a thermally conductive and electrically conductive material and are electrically isolated from each other. The first and second connecting elements are thermally connected to the inner and outer fluid channels.
