Als je een octrooi leest mag je alles overslaan.
Het enige wat ertoe doet zijn de claims.

Er is maar 1 claim:

What is claimed is:
1. A vehicle comprising:

an energy storage configured to store electric energy for at least propulsion of the vehicle

an energy storage thermal system configured to provide thermal conditioning of the energy storage; and

a coupling configured to receive thermal conditioning of the energy storage from a thermal system external to the vehicle,

wherein the coupling provides thermal conditioning of the energy storage while charging when available from the thermal system external to the vehicle and;

wherein the energy storage thermal system provides thermal conditioning of the energy system while charging when the thermal system external to the vehicle is not available


Eerlijk gezegd lijkt me dat geen sterke claim.
Een sterke claim vereist een onverwacht of ongekend technisch inzicht, maar dat is hier absoluut niet het geval.

Het inzicht dat kabels en een batterij opwarmen als je er meer stroom doorstuurt is zo oud als de straat. De wet van Ohm dateert van 1826.
En dat je opwarming kan wegkoelen, dat inzicht is wellicht nog duizenden jaren langer bekend, al van toen mensen bliezen om een te warme drank drinkbaar te maken.
En uw punt is?

Daarom gaat dat venieuwd patent helemaal niet.

Tesla gebruikt al een heel tijdje gekoelde systemen bij hun superchargers van bruto 145 kWh, dus ook laadpalen met vloeistofgekoelde kabels.

Het staat er zelfs bijna te lezen, 2014, met update 2016:

In this case, Tesla first applied to patent the technology back in 2014, later updated the application in 2016.

Title:
COOLING OF CHARGING CABLE
United States Patent Application 20150217654 Kind Code: A1
Abstract:
A charging system for an electric vehicle includes: a power supply; a cable having first and second ends, the first end attached to the power supply, the cable comprising a charging conductor and a cooling conduit, each of which extends from the first end to the second end; and a connector attached to the second end of the cable, the connector having a form factor corresponding to a charge port of the electric vehicle; wherein the cooling conduit is adapted to convey a fluid that cools the charging conductor.

Claims:
What is claimed is:

1. A charging system for an electric vehicle comprising: a power supply; a cable having first and second ends, the first end attached to the power supply, the cable comprising a charging conductor and a cooling conduit, each of which extends from the first end to the second end; and a connector attached to the second end of the cable, the connector having a form factor corresponding to a charge port of the electric vehicle; wherein the cooling conduit is adapted to convey a fluid that cools the charging conductor.

2. The charging system of claim 1, wherein the cooling conduit is adapted so that the fluid is conveyed from the first end to the second end, and thereafter from the second end to the first end.

3. The charging system of claim 2, wherein the connector comprises at least one electric contact held by an armature at the second end, wherein the cooling conduit forms a loop by the armature so as to return to the first end.

4. The charging system of claim 3, wherein the loop includes a connecting piece attached to an inlet portion of the cooling conduit coming from the first end and to an outlet portion of the cooling conduit leading toward the first end.

5. The charging system of claim 2, wherein the connector comprises at least one electric contact held by an armature at the second end, the armature having an interior cavity with an inlet opening and an outlet opening, wherein an inlet portion of the cooling conduit coming from the first end is connected to the inlet opening, and the outlet opening is connected to an outlet portion of the cooling conduit leading toward the first end.

6. The charging system of claim 2, having at least first and second charging conductors, wherein the cooling conduit comprises an inlet portion coming from the first end and an outlet portion leading toward the first end, and wherein the charging cable has a cross section profile in which each of the inlet and outlet portions is touching each of the first and second charging conductors.

7. The charging system of claim 2, having at least first, second, third and fourth charging conductors, wherein the cooling conduit comprises an inlet portion coming from the first end and an outlet portion leading toward the first end, wherein the charging cable has a cross section profile in which the inlet portion is touching at least the first and second charging conductors and in which the outlet portion is touching at least the third and fourth charging conductors.

8. The charging system of claim 2, wherein the cooling conduit forms a fluid channel around at least one electric contact in the connector.

9. The charging system of claim 2, wherein the cooling conduit forms a fluid channel around an inside a handle of the connector.

10. The charging system of claim 1, further comprising a ground cable that extends from the first to the second end and is touching the charging conductor and the cooling conduit, wherein the ground cable is adapted to conduct heat from the charging conductor to the cooling conduit.

11. The charging system of claim 10, wherein the ground cable has a braided outer surface that is in thermal contact with the charging conductor and the cooling conduit.

12. The charging system of claim 10, further comprising at least one signal cable that extends inside the ground cable from the first to the second end.

13. The charging system of claim 1, wherein the cooling conduit conveys a liquid that cools the charging conductor.

14. The charging system of claim 1, wherein the connector includes a fluid hub that defines an interior fluid path from an inlet opening to an outlet opening, the interior fluid path traversing essentially an entire interior of the fluid hub.

15. The charging system of claim 14, wherein the fluid hub comprises a first part, having the inlet opening, joined to a second part having the outlet opening, at least one of the first and second parts having a wall extending into the interior of the fluid hub, the interior fluid path defined at least in part by the wall.

16. The charging system of claim 14, wherein the fluid hub further comprises at least one busbar attached to the fluid hub, the busbar adapted to be electrically connected to a contact socket of the connector.

17. The charging system of claim 14, wherein the fluid hub further comprises at least one circuit component configured for use in charging the electric vehicle, the circuit component mounted on a board attached to the fluid hub.
