Huawei’s 1.5 MW EV Charger Adds 400 KM in Just 5 Minutes

Exponent Energy: India’s Answer to Ultra-Fast EV Charging
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Imagine charging your electric vehicle in the time it takes to grab a cup of tea. That’s not a distant dream anymore.

For those following the EV world closely, you’ll know fast charging is not just about convenience. It’s what will make or break the future of electric mobility. In India, brands like BYD and Exponent Energy have already been working on cutting down charging times. Exponent’s system, for example, can charge an e-scooter in 15 minutes, and BYD recently showcased a 1000 kW charger that can add 200+ miles (around 320 kilometers) of range in about 5 minutes. That’s pretty impressive already.

But now, things have gone a level up — globally.

What Just Happened?

Huawei has unveiled a 1.5 megawatt EV charger that can add around 250 miles (about 400 kilometers) of range in just 5 minutes. It was announced at the China EV100 Forum — a major industry event that often sets the tone for future trends in electric mobility.

This new charger isn’t meant for your regular city car, though. It’s built for heavy-duty electric trucks. Think massive cargo haulers that can’t afford to sit idle at a station. A 15-minute full charge for these vehicles is a potential game-changer.

According to BGR, the system delivers up to 2,400 amps of current and pumps power at 20 kWh per minute. This makes it one of the fastest public EV charging systems in the world right now.

But Wait, Huawei Is Not Alone

This is not a one-player race. Zeekr, another China-based company, plans to launch a 1.2 MW charger later this year. And as mentioned earlier, BYD’s 1 MW charger is already showing up in their ecosystem.

All of them are targeting the same goal: less waiting, more driving.

Even more interesting, Huawei also showed off a robotic charging arm earlier this year. In a demo, an autonomous EV parked itself near the charger, and the robotic arm plugged in without human help. While that was tested on a smaller 600 kW charger, Huawei says the same tech can work with this new megawatt beast too.

What Does This Mean for India?

India is moving fast when it comes to EVs, but this level of technology is still a few steps away. Most of our focus right now is on building access and affordability — making sure there are enough chargers in the right places. That said, these global innovations are a good sign of what’s to come.

It’s possible that over the next few years, we’ll start to see similar technologies adapted for Indian conditions. Maybe not for trucks at first, but for buses, fleet vehicles, and eventually even personal EVs.

Exponent Energy is already showing that India can build fast-charging tech that makes sense locally. 

One Thing to Keep in Mind

Tech like this sounds amazing. But with high-speed charging, also comes the challenge of heat management, battery life, and grid load. It’s not just about making batteries charge faster. It’s also about making them safe, efficient, and affordable for daily users.

So while it’s tempting to get carried away by big numbers like “250 miles in 5 minutes,” there’s still work to be done before this becomes a common feature at every charging station.

Final Thoughts

This new wave of ultra-fast chargers is a big step forward for the EV industry. It’s not just about tech specs — it’s about shifting the mindset. If charging becomes as quick and painless as refuelling, more people will be open to switching to electric.

And if India continues to build its own solutions — like Exponent’s 15-minute charge, we may not have to wait long to see global innovations adapted to Indian roads.
