LiquidCooled EV Charging Cable Market

Liquid-Cooled EV Charging Cable Market Size

The global liquid-cooled EV charging cable market size was estimated at USD 2.03 billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow from USD 2.74 billion in 2025 to USD 10.88 billion in 2034, at a CAGR of 16.5%, according to latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.

The rapid roll-out of ultra-fast DC charging infrastructure is driving structural change across the EV charging ecosystem. Liquid-cooled charging cables enable high current (150 kW to 1.5+ MW) safely and compactly, allowing network operators and site owners to deliver much shorter charge times without excessive cable bulk or thermal risk. This trend minimizes per-site area, minimizes the complexity of O&M of high-power chargers, and facilitates fleet electrification and highway corridor implementations.

For instance, in February 2025, the total number of public charging stations in Europe has crossed 1 million, with Netherlands leading the region with 175 thousand charging points. This trend suggests that the region will reach 2 million by 2029.

Strategic investments and capacity expansions are now the norm as the OEMs and cable specialists expand to serve the megawatt-level demand. Multiple manufacturers and charging-infrastructure integrators have announced upgrades of their plant, pilot fabrication of liquid-cooled structure, and collaborated with connector and cool-system vendors to promote an abbreviated time-to-market of 350-1,000+ kW installations.

For September 2025, Autel Energy has partnered with Phoenix Contact to integrate Phoenix Contact’s 1,000 A liquid-cooled CCS2 cable and connector into Autel’s MaxiCharger DT1000 series, enabling up to megawatt-class charging for heavy-duty fleets and infrastructure.

The energy shift and increase in commercial electrification (buses, trucks, delivery fleet) is spurring liquid-cooled solution demand. The high power cycles are repeated in heavy-duty charging applications; liquid-cooled cables are favored by the rental/depot operator and fleet owners, in applications where sustained thermal operations are required and decreasing operating life in harsh duty cycles is undesirable.

The supply chain resiliency and digital transformation post-pandemic strategies have also had a great effect on the procurement and servicing of charging hardware. Telematics-enabled condition monitoring is increasingly proving to be an attractive option used by operators to integrate cables and cooling systems. These systems offer real-time diagnostics of temperature, flow and leakage as well as predictive maintenance contracts that are reducing downtime on high usage charging stations.

Liquid-cooled cables are also becoming popular in smart-city and corridor charging projects. The fast-charging hubs, intercity megawatt charging stations and bus depots are taking advantage of automated cable manipulation, modular liquid-cooling skids and standardized connector interfaces including CCS, GB/T and NACS. These innovations are contributing to the enhancement of safety, interoperability, and regulatory compliance.

North America, and Europe is a significant expansion market where both public and private investment in fast-charging corridors, fleet electrification programs, and greater use of newer connector standards are actively encouraged. This is because established infrastructure integrators and connector experts are in the market; the emphasis is on fast rollouts, retrofits to accommodate 350 kW+ chargers, and compatibility with emerging standards.

Asia-Pacific remains the largest and fastest-growing regional market on account of scale manufacturing, dense urban fleets, and large-scale pilot projects. China and select APAC markets lead in volume deployments and cost-competitive production; Japan and Korea emphasize advanced materials and reliability for high-duty applications.

Liquid-Cooled EV Charging Cable Market Trends

Increasing the use of high-voltage EV architectures (800 V and higher) is necessitating liquid-cooled cables with 350 kW to 1.5 MW of power requirements. These systems also permit 5–10-minute charging, which is required by long-haul trucks and fleets, and liquid-cooling becomes an important facilitator of next-gen ultra-fast charging infrastructure.

In September 2024 Mercedes-Benz introduced the AMG GT XX Concept with a liquid-cooled CCS cable capable of liquid-cooled charging of over 1 megawatt (1,014 kW) in under two minutes. The demonstration was held at the IAA Munich Motor Show and emphasized the advancement of the automaker toward the integration of megawatt-range ultra-fast charging into its next-generation EV platforms.

Liquid cooling can be applied to conductor and cable to reduce by up to 40 the size and weight of conductors and cables, enhancing their flexibility and ease of handling. To ensure that users are safe and comfortable during high-power charging manufacturers are putting emphasis on ergonomic designs that are efficient to provide thermal performance during constant heavy current charging.

Modern liquid-cooled EV cables are equipped with sensors and intelligent control systems, which allow a real-time monitoring of temperature, current flow, and coolant pressure. Modular structures enable scalability in their installation, ease in their maintenance, and anticipatory diagnostics, enhancing reliability and operational availability in heavily used public and commercial charging systems.
