An electric vehicle charge equipment (EVSE) for supplying a charge current to an electrical vehicle includes: a liquid cooled charge cable with a charge connector for connecting to the electrical vehicle; and a charge current regulating device for regulating the charge current based on a temperature of the cooling liquid. Regulating the charge current includes: charging the electrical vehicle with a first charge current for an initial time period and thereafter charging the electrical vehicle with a second charge current that is greater than the first charge current, and/or reducing the charge current as long as the temperature of the cooling liquid is below a temperature threshold, and/or charging the electrical vehicle with a first charge current as long as the temperature of the cooling liquid is below a temperature threshold and thereafter charging the electrical vehicle with a second charge current that is greater than the first charge current.

Electric vehicle charge equipment

The application relates to direct current, DC, charging cable including two DC conductors configured for transmitting electrical energy between an electrical vehicle and a charging device, at least a signal line having a first signal line end and a second, opposite signal line end and a control device, the first signal line end is connected at a first connection point to one of the DC conductors, and the control device is configured for measuring a voltage difference between the second signal line end and a second connection point of the one of the DC conductors distant to the first connection point for determining a temperature of the DC charging cable.
