I haven't seen a RAN charger in the wild yet - I'm wondering what the cables are like... are they thick like many 'public' CCS stations? Or thinner like the liquid cooled v3 Superchargers?

Darn, was hoping they would be like v3 Superchargers :(

So they aren't liquid cooled then I guess...

They are liquid cooled. From what I have seen in videos they are the same Huber Suhner cables that are use by EA and others (haven't seen one in person yet).

Yes. Spoke with a tech at the Truckee RAN while he was working on it. They are liquid cooled.

Weird they made them so thick then. The v3 cables are much easier to use than the v2 cables (which aren't liquid cooled), let alone the monstrosities they put on just the 50kW units in the interior of BC. I haven't seen an EA charger yet, but I'm picturing the same thing.
