The invention discloses an electric automobile charging pile capable of protecting a charging cable. The charging pile comprises a foundation and a pile body, a bottom plate is welded to the bottom of the pile body, the bottom plate is connected with the upper surface of the foundation through screws, the charging cable is arranged on the bottom in the front face of the pile body and connected with a charging circuit in the pile body, a charging gun is connected with the top of the charging cable, and a slot is formed in the top on the front face of the pile body. By means of the electric automobile charging pile capable of protecting the charging cable, a U-shaped plate is embedded into a groove so that the groove in the foundation can be prevented from being deformed, and the stability of the charging cable in the groove is improved; when an electric automobile needs to be charged, the charging gun can be taken out from the slot, then the charging cable is located on the inner side of the U-shaped plate, a rubber cover plate on the charging cable is pressed in a second limiting groove, and when vehicles or pedestrians pass, the rubber cover plate can evenly transmit pressure to the U-shaped plate, so that a protective effect on the charging cable is achieved.
