摘要

In India, electric vehicle sales increased by more than 50% in the first quarter of 2024.The most recent data from the ministry of power that 12,146 operational public EV charging stations throughout the country. This indicates that there is need for a safety of EV DC charging cable. This paper focusing on a geometrical model of an EV DC charging cable, to examine the different thicknesses of the insulation material in DC charging cable by using COMSOL software. The analysis indicates that increasing insulation thickness can enhance the electro thermal performance, with reduced current density and temperature gradients, is a key outcome for improving the efficiency and safety of EV charging systems. Additionally, the findings contribute to the development of industry cable manufacturing and the creation of innovative insulation materials tailored to the evolving needs of the EV sector.
