Chilled compressed air electric vehicle (EV) fast-charge system and method

An air cooled electric vehicle charging cable and system, comprising:

• first and second electric vehicle charging cable portions, each portion including an insulated conductor carried in a jacket, the jacket having a wall having inner surface and defining a cooling channel extending longitudinally along the charging cable, between the jacket and the insulated conductor;
• a compressed air supply;
• a filter;
• a dryer;
• a super cooler subsystem;
• a coupling on each charging cable portion for supplying chilled air to the air channels of the charging cable portions;
• and
• a connector handle, wherein the first and second charging cable portions terminate at the connector handle.

A method for air cooling an electric vehicle charging cable, the cable having first and second electric vehicle charging cable portions, each portion including an insulated conductor carried in a jacket, the jacket having a wall having inner surface and defining a cooling channel extending longitudinally along the charging cable, between the jacket and the insulated conductor, the method comprising;

• compressing air to a predetermined pressure;
• filtering the compressed air;
• drying the compressed and filtered air;
• chilling the compressed, filtered and dried air in a super cooler, the super cooler having a refrigeration cycle;
• and
• introducing the compressed, filtered, dried and chilled air into the cooling channel.
