Huawei has introduced a 1.5 megawatt super-fast charging unit developed for areas with high charging needs, such as harbours and mining sites. The fully liquid-cooled system is not only suitable for heavy vehicles, but also for passenger cars and construction equipment.

Huawei unveils super-fast charging unit

The new charging unit can charge vehicles with high battery capacity from 10 per cent to 90 per cent in just 15 minutes, providing a maximum current of 2400 amps for 15 minutes. Huawei says this technology offers up to four times the charging efficiency compared to conventional charging systems.

The high temperature generated during the charging process is controlled by immersion liquid cooling technology at the centre of the unit. This system will provide uninterrupted service in harsh climatic conditions with its ability to operate between -30°C and 60°C.

On the hardware side, there are Silicon Carbide (SiC)-based chips developed by Huawei. These chips offer three times higher energy density compared to traditional silicon components. Huawei stated that this results in a 50 per cent reduction in failure rates and an average lifespan of 15 years.

Thanks to the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) feature, which supports bi-directional energy flow with the power grid, the system can return energy from vehicles to the grid when needed. This technology is also supported by a planning system developed jointly with China State Electricity Grid.

Huawei announced that the new generation charging unit will offer a wide range of applications for mining and port operations, as well as urban public transport systems and individual electric vehicle users.
