The car already has water cooling anyway. But the cable could also just be not hanging around freely.
Car cooling cools the car, not the cable. If you're removing the cooling requirement from the cable you either burn up the cable or downrate the charging session to be significantly slower.
Where are you proposing the cable go if not hanging/attached to the charger?
The cable is with the car in this proposed case, why should the existing cooling not be able to cool it?
I'm the other case, of course it is connected to the charger. Just not freely dangling around outside for everyone to grab it. The same way the hoses of a fuel station mostly stay in the pump. Now just add a little bit more protection to this existing system and boom done.
