Huawei unveils 1,500 kW chargers

Huawei used its April 23 Beijing event to launch a 1.5-megawatt supercharger built mainly for electric heavy trucks. (digitalpower.huawei.com) (cnevpost.com) The charger reaches up to 1.5 megawatts of peak power and 2,400 amps when two charging guns are used at the same time, Huawei said. The company called it a fully liquid-cooled megawatt-class system. (cnevpost.com) Huawei said an electric heavy truck can go from 10% to 90% charge in 15 minutes and take in about 300 kilowatt-hours in that session. The company said that is nearly four times as efficient as traditional fast-charging piles. (cnevpost.com) A megawatt charger is the truck version of ultra-fast charging: more power pushed in over a shorter stop, with liquid cooling used to keep cables and hardware from overheating. Huawei said the system can also be used for passenger cars, but its launch pitch centered on freight routes. (cnevpost.com) At the Beijing event, Huawei framed charging as part of a site-level energy system, not just a plug. Its English event page said FusionCharge fits into a “PV+ESS+charger+microgrid” architecture, combining solar power, battery storage and charging equipment. (digitalpower.huawei.com) Huawei also used the event to launch an “Ultra-fast Charging Ecosystem for Electrified Logistics,” according to the published agenda. The Chinese event page listed speakers from XCMG New Energy, Yunnan Jiaotou New Energy Industry Development and Huaxia Financial Leasing alongside Huawei executives.

BYD unveiled a 1-megawatt charger in March 2025, Zeekr said it would launch a 1.2-megawatt charger in the second quarter of 2025, and CATL said in April 2025 that its latest Shenxing battery reached 1.3 megawatts of peak charging power. (cnevpost.com 1) (cnevpost.com 2) Huawei said it has signed strategic cooperation deals with SF Express and JD.com to deploy the first 5,000 electric heavy trucks adapted to the megawatt charger. It also said it is working with 11 vehicle companies on more than 30 heavy-truck models that support 4C supercharging. (cnevpost.com) The Beijing Auto Show opened on April 24 with a record 380,000 square meters of exhibition space and 1,451 vehicles on display, giving Huawei a large stage for a product that reaches beyond cars into freight depots and highway charging hubs. (cnevpost.com) Huawei’s message in Beijing was that the next charging fight is about truck stops, grid equipment and on-site storage as much as the charger itself.
