1. An electric charging station for an electric vehicle, wherein the electric charging station comprises:
a connector, wherein the connector is configured to couple with an electric vehicle port of an electric vehicle for charging a battery of the electric vehicle;
a charging cable electrically connected to the charging connector, wherein the charging cable is configured to carry electricity;
an energy source, wherein the energy source is electrically connected to the charging cable;
a temperature regulating element comprising at least a coolant flow path having a distal end located at the charging connector;
a temperature sensor, wherein the temperature sensor is configured to generate a temperature datum representing information on a battery temperature of the battery of the electric vehicle; and
a computing device communicatively connected to the temperature regulating element and the temperature sensor, wherein the computing device is configured to:
receive the temperature datum from the temperature sensor; and
regulate the battery temperature using the temperature regulating element as a function of the temperature datum by controlling coolant flow through the connector.
