Huawei's liquid-cooled supercharger achieves nearly 1-second-per-kilometer charging speed in extreme heat tests

Huawei just revealed the results of rigorous testing for its liquid-cooled supercharging tech in the harsh Turpan region of China, known for its extreme temperatures. The company conducted tests in the Kumtag Desert and Huoyan Mountain, where temperatures soared to 49.6°C, with surface temperatures exceeding 80°C.

Despite these punishing conditions, Huawei's supercharging tech demonstrated pretty impressive performance. The system maintained a noise level of just 44.1dB in standby mode and only 59.5dB while charging, even at an ambient temperature of 47.1°C.

Key to the technology's success is its advanced liquid cooling system, which effectively dissipates heat from the charging components. Huawei claims that its precise temperature control algorithms play a crucial role in maintaining system stability and efficiency.

In charging tests involving 414 vehicles and a total charge volume of 13,391 kWh, Huawei's charging achieved a nearly 100% success rate for single-charge attempts. As the electric vehicle market continues to grow, technologies like Huawei's supercharging will likely contribute towards more efficient charging in the near future. EV charging infrastructure investment is expected to hit more than $12 billion by 2030 in the US alone, so the road is already paved at this point.
