Abstract
This disclosure describes electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) assemblies for use when charging plug-in electrified vehicles. An exemplary EVSE assembly may include a charger coupler and a cable connected to the charger coupler. The cable may include a plurality of conductor wires and a gap extrusion positioned within a gap between the plurality of conductor wires. The gap extrusion may include a non-symmetrical cross-sectional shape and may be made of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material. The cable may be manufactured in a staggered extrusion process in which the gap extrusion is fed into a gap of a wound conductor wire bunch of the cable.
