Huawei’s liquid-cooled EV supercharger proves resilient in desert trials
Huawei recently shared the results of extreme temperature testing for its liquid-cooled supercharging technology in China’s Turpan region, known for its intense heat. The tests took place in the scorching Kumtag Desert and Huoyan Mountain, where ambient temperatures reached 49.6°C (121.28°F) and surface temperatures soared above 80°C (176°F).Huawei’s liquid-cooled EV supercharger proves resilient in desert trials

Despite these harsh conditions, Huawei’s supercharging technology performed remarkably well. The system kept noise levels to 44.1 dB in standby mode and 59.5 dB while charging, even at ambient temperatures of 47.1°C (116.78°F). This suggests the technology is quiet enough to avoid being disruptive in real-world scenarios.
The key to the system’s performance is its advanced liquid cooling technology, which effectively dissipates heat generated during charging, preventing overheating and potential malfunction. Huawei also highlights its “precise temperature control algorithms,” which are crucial for maintaining system stability and charging efficiency.
Huawei conducted additional tests on 414 vehicles, delivering a total of 13,391 kWh of energy. These tests had a nearly perfect success rate, with almost every vehicle fully charged in a single attempt.
As the electric vehicle market grows rapidly, fast and efficient charging solutions like Huawei’s are essential for wider adoption. The EV charging infrastructure is expected to see significant investment, with over $12 billion projected for the US market alone by 2030. Huawei’s technology could play a key role in this development.Huawei’s liquid-cooled EV supercharger proves resilient in desert trials
However, it’s important to remember that this technology is still in its early stages. Details about real-world deployment, specific charging speeds, and compatibility with various electric vehicle models are yet to be clarified.
While these tests offer a promising outlook for the future of EV charging, more information is needed before making a final judgment on Huawei’s supercharging solution.
