Huawei, the Chinese tech giant known for its smartphones, has been making strides in the electric vehicle (EV) industry by partnering with car manufacturers to build better EVs and smart cars in China. However, a recent leak of their 600kW Huawei charger station shows that they are far ahead of the competition, including Tesla.
Leaked images of the charging station show that it is a square-shaped unit with a cooling device at the bottom. The charger’s dimensions are 295 x 340 x 1700 mm, and it is painted in the signature red color of Huawei. The model number of this charger is DT600L1-CNA1, and it supports China’s national standard 2015 DC fast charging, single-gun output, and the output voltage range is 200-1000V. The maximum output current is 600A, and the maximum output power is 600kW.
Named the “FusionCharge,” it is a liquid-cooled charger with a charging hub that ranges up to 3.5 meters. Industry experts suggest that Huawei initially planned to roll out these chargers in 2025, but the company is already testing them with limited users in advance, with some speculating that it could be an advance move to cover the upcoming Huawei AITO Wenji M9 model, which will launch later this year.
Huawei’s FusionCharge lineup includes a DC Supercharger, a DC Fast Charger, and a DC Split Charger, with the maximum power of the DC Supercharger at 600kW, rated voltage at 1000V, maximum current at 600A, and maximum power at 600kW. The DC Fast Charge is a double-split pile with a total power of 360kW, with each pile having a maximum power of 180kW and a charging cable length of 5 meters. The DC Split Charger has an output voltage range of 200-1000V, with a rated output power of 600kW.
In comparison, Tesla’s current V3 chargers can only provide 250kW power, and even the upcoming V4 supercharger is expected to max out at 350kW. Thus, the 600kW Huawei charger is faster than Tesla’s current offerings, but we will have to wait for the final release to know more about its specs.
It’s worth noting that achieving such a high charging power requires grid support, but the fact that Huawei is making such a bold move in terms of energy supplementation shows its commitment to the EV industry’s growth. With its superior charging technology, Huawei may soon emerge as a formidable player in the EV market.
