Tesla does not do vehicle side cooling. I think the current pin size for CCS is okay for 350A charging with similar cooling as Tesla is doing to with superchargers. But getting to 350kW is a challenge (while still maintaining similar battery voltage).PhoenixContact does not state any vehicle-side cooling requirements.
Do the Tesla S and X use vehicle-side active cooling of the charging socket? I don't recall seeing any evidence that they do and yet they support ~350A charging today.
My assumption is that the charging station's active cooling of the plug's DC pin area also provides adequate cooling of the vehicle socket pins.
