Among the factors that limit the growth of electric vehicle (EV) adoption are the relatively long times required to recharge batteries. In most cases, it takes hours to fully recharge an EV, whereas it takes only minutes to refill a gas tank.
To enable faster charging of larger and more powerful EV batteries, OEMs must increase the diameter of the cables used in EV charging circuits. This is essential because larger cable diameters support higher draws of electrical current while dissipating the heat generated by the resistance of the conducting material.
