      Just crimping a connector to such a cable is hard work. You really can’t compare that to traditional wiring. Many are also water-cooled.

          Yes. The cables are intentionally made “too thin” so that they weigh less and are less stiff. The upside it it makes handling them much easier. The downside is they they get pretty hot pretty fast, and from there you have two options: Actively cool the cable from inside or throttle charging so the cable doesn’t melt.
