ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING SYSTEM

The present invention relates to an electric vehicle charging system (10) comprising a charging connector (14) configured to receive a charging cable (18). The charging cable (18) and/or the charging connector (14) provide means (46) for guiding a coolant, cooling the charging cable (18) and/or the charging connector (14). The electric vehicle charging system (10) further comprises a thermal management unit (26) for cooling the coolant. The thermal management unit (26) comprises a vapour-compression refrigeration system (30) for cooling the coolant below ambient temperature.
