Abstract
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.
