Motor vehicle charging cable

A motor vehicle charging cable (10) for direct current charging of an electric energy storage device of a vehicle, said charging cable comprising:

• a cable jacket (13),
• a first electric conductor (11) for a first direct current phase;
• and
• a second electric conductor (12) for a second direct current phase,
• wherein an outside of both the first and second electric conductors (11, 12) is surrounded by the cable jacket (13),
• wherein the first and second electric conductors (11, 12) each have a conductor sheath (19) comprising an outer sheathing layer (19a) and an inner sheathing layer (19b),
• wherein the first and second electric conductors (11, 12) each have conductor cores (21) extending within the conductor sheath (19) and forming a conductor core strand (20),
• wherein the first and second electric conductors (11, 12) each have a first coolant-carrying duct (22) for cooling the respective conductor core strand (20) from an inside of the respective conductor core strand, which first coolant-carrying duct is surrounded by the respective conductor cores (21),
• wherein the first and second electric conductors (11, 12) furthermore each have a second coolant-carrying duct (23) for cooling the respective conductor core strand (20) from outside of the respective conductor core strand, said second coolant-carrying duct (23) enclosing the respective conductor cores (21),
• wherein the second coolant-carrying duct (23) comprises tubular coolant-carrying spacers (24) that are positioned between the conductor cores (21) of the conductor core strand (20) of the respective electric conductor (11, 12) and the inner sheathing layer (19b) of the conductor sheath (19) of the respective electric conductor (11, 12),
• wherein the tubular coolant-carrying spacers (24) divide the respective second coolant duct (23), through and around which coolant flows, rest against one another and rest against the inner sheathing layer (19b) of the conductor sheath (19) of the respective electric conductor (11, 12) and also rest directly against the conductor cores (21) for cooling the conductor cores (21).
