The invention discloses a flexible cable used for a new energy automobile. The cable comprises a conductor and an insulation layer used for wrapping the conductor. The outer part of the insulation layer is provided with a cooling layer in a wrapped manner, and at least one cooling medium channel extended along the length direction of the insulation layer is disposed in the cooling layer, and is used to introduce the cooling medium for the cooling and the heat dissipation of the insulation layer. Heat energy radiated by the insulation layer outwardly is effectively, reliably, quickly, and greatly eliminated by the cooling medium, and then the heat energy radiated on the outer part of the cooling layer is reasonable, controllable, and safe, and then the special use requirement of the new energy automobile is satisfied. The flexible cable is in service and operated reliably, safely, and stably in various severe environments, and has advantages of simple structure, convenient forming, small forming difficulty, low forming costs, compact structure, good flexibility, excellent heat dissipation effect, high flame resistant performance, high reliability, good safety performance, and strong practicability.
