PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charging cable for an electric vehicle which has a small outside diameter, does not require shielding and is superior in flexibility.SOLUTION: The cable is so structured that it has four feeders made by uniformly dividing the conductor cross-sectional area of a feeder into two and arranging feeders having the same polarity in parallel or in diagonal positions. The outside diameter of the cable can be made small and a charging cable for an electric vehicle which is flex and superior in handleability and housing property can be obtained by uniformly dividing the conductor cross-sectional area of the feeder into two to make four feeders. Since the outside diameter of the feeder becomes small by dividing the conductor cross-sectional area of the feeder into two, and consequently the distance between the conductors of the feeder becomes short, the characteristic impedance between the polarities of the feeder can be decreased, and the emission of noise occurring from the feeder to the outside can be prevented.
