Abstract: The invention relates to a charging arrangement (1) for charging of electric vehicles, comprising a charging connector (2) and a charging cable (3), wherein the charging connector (2) comprises a connector body (4) with a first zone (5) and a second zone (6), the first zone (5) and the second zone (6) being separate from each other, the first zone (5) of the connector body (4) hosts a mating interface (7) with electrical contacts (8) for mating the charging connector (2) with a corresponding socket of an electric vehicle, the electrical contacts (8) being galvanically coupled to the charging cable (3), and the second zone (6) of the connector body (4) comprises a tube (9) in which the charging cable (3) is guided from an opening (11) of the tube (9) which is arranged on that side of the second zone (6) of the connector body (4) which is faced away from the first zone (5) of the connector body (4) to the electrical contacts (8) which are located in the first zone (5) of the connector body (4), and a handle (10) for grabbing the charging connector (4) with a human hand, the handle (10) being separate from the tube (9). According to the invention, the second zone (6) of the connector body (4) is Y-shaped wherein the tube (9) is formed by one upper leg and the lower of the Y and the handle (10) is formed by the other upper leg of the Y. In this way, a charging arrangement (1) for charging of electric vehicles is provided which is easy to use while showing high resistance to mechanical damage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid cooled cable arrangement for high-power fast charging of electric vehicles, comprising
a charging connector (1) and a liquid cooled charging cable (2), whereby
the liquid cooled charging cable (2) comprises a plurality of conductors (3) for supplying charging current and at least two fluid channels (4) for supply and return liquid coolant,
the charging connector (1) comprises a plurality of bus bars (6) and a plurality of contacts (8),
each one conductor (3) is electrically and thermally connected to one bus bar (6) and via the bus bar (6) to one contact (8), and
the charging connector (1) comprises a second part (7) consisting of a thermally conductive and electrically insulating material to which the bus bars (6) are attached and to which the fluid channels (4) are thermally connected such that heat generated in the contacts (8) during charging can be removed by the liquid coolant, and/or
the bus bars (6) comprise bus bar fluid channels (10) to which the fluid channels (4) are thermally connected such that heat generated in the contacts (8) during charging can be removed by the liquid coolant.
