The Chinese company believes this charging speed will revolutionise the industry and relieve electric car owners of worries about range.

On 27 February, Huawei held a conference where the company's executives shared their vision and ambitions for electric vehicle charging. Hou Jinlong, President of Huawei's Digital Energy Division, said that all electric vehicles will soon switch to high-voltage charging. At the same time, the company's goal is to make charging speeds of 1 kilometre of range per second affordable.

With the right infrastructure in place, such numbers are already possible. Huawei recently unveiled its ultra-fast liquid-cooled charging station. With a maximum output power of 600 kW and a maximum current of 600 A, this charging station can achieve a charging speed of approximately one kilometre per second.

Huawei's charging station supports a wide range of electric vehicles, including popular models from brands such as Nio, Tesla, Xpeng and Li Auto, as well as commercial vehicles and lorries. Huawei plans to lead the rollout of more than 100,000 liquid-cooled charging stations in more than 340 cities and major highways in China.
