A cooling system for electric vehicle charging infrastructure exhibits a centralized cooling arrangement in which heat is collected from a plurality of heat-generating components of the EVCI and dissipated into the surrounding environment via a common outlet. The cooling system comprises: a thermal energy storage element configured to act as a buffer for temporarily storing the heat collected from the plurality of heat-generating components; and a primary heat exchanger serving as the common outlet, wherein the primary heat exchanger is configured to dissipate the heat temporarily stored by the thermal energy storage element with the surrounding environment.
