On August 23rd， the Huawei Megawatt Ultra-Fast Charging High-Quality Development Summit was held in Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County， Mianyang City， Sichuan Province. The summit， themed “Building a Megawatt Ultra-Fast Charging Ecosystem， Winning the All-Electric Logistics Opportunity，” marked a significant step in the advancement of electric heavy-duty truck charging infrastructure.
During the summit， the world’s first 100 megawatt-level heavy truck ultra-fast charging station， the Sichuan Yuanqi Xingguang Heavy Truck Megawatt Ultra-Fast Charging Station， was officially unveiled. This launch signifies a substantial leap forward in charging speeds and capacity for the burgeoning electric heavy-duty truck market.
The station employs Huawei’s megawatt ultra-fast charging solution， boasting a total installed capacity of 100，000 kW (100 MW). The first phase is already operational with 50，000 kW (50 MW) capacity， capable of delivering 300，000 kWh of charging per day and serving approximately 700 pure electric heavy-duty trucks daily. This scale of operation is crucial for supporting the high energy demands of long-haul electric trucking， addressing range anxiety and operational efficiency.
Currently， the station is equipped with 184 charging bays. This includes 18 ultra-fast charging bays with 1.44 MW capacity and 108 liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging bays with 600 kW capacity. The infrastructure is powered by 72 sets of 720 kW liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging hosts. The station further integrates a nearly 1 MW photovoltaic carport and two 215 kWh energy storage systems featuring wind and liquid cooling intelligent management， highlighting a comprehensive and sustainable approach to power supply.
This development follows Huawei’s earlier announcement in April of the industry’s first 2400A all-liquid-cooled megawatt ultra-fast charging pile and a signing ceremony with multiple partners for a unified network of heavy-duty truck megawatt ultra-fast charging. This strategic push indicates a concerted effort to standardize and accelerate the adoption of high-power charging solutions across the logistics sector.
The Huawei liquid-cooled megawatt charging piles offer a maximum power of 1.44 MW. This results in an impressive charging speed of approximately 24 kWh per minute， with a claimed performance of “charging for 5 minutes to drive 100 kilometers.” Such rapid charging capabilities would allow a 400 kWh battery-equipped vehicle to reach 80% charge in approximately 15 minutes， significantly reducing downtime for commercial vehicles.
