I mean, it looks do-able, you just need something like this with a plug on both ends:

"150 max amp @ 600 volt DC"

Those are the older style cables that aren't liquid cooled.

Cost would be a big issue too. You see that replacement cable is listed at $575 as is. It would be even more for the double ended version (and I'm not sure two connectors is allowed in the CCS 2 spec).
