You need mechanical attachment, which crimping gives you.
Soldering in addition to crimping may decrease your resistance, but also risks wicking up the copper cable and making the cable susceptible to breaking if flexed. (If the pin to cable connection is inside a connector that prevents that area of the cable from flexing, this may not be a big issue.)

There is a heated debate on Facebook as to weather it is acceptable to solder the J1772 pins to make your DIY cord. I think crimping or soldering will work. But at 14.4kw there might be issues with solder. I don't see the problem of heat at 6.6kw.
