China's Huawei unveils world's first 100MW charging hub to power trucks

China’s Huawei has launched the world’s first 100 MW-class supercharging hub specifically designed for electric heavy trucks, marking a significant advancement in ultra-fast, high-power charging technology. Located in Beichuan’s sand and gravel mines, the $20.9 million facility spans 11.5 acres and includes 18 supercharging bays at 1.44 MW each and 108 bays at 600 kW, capable of servicing up to 700 trucks daily and delivering over 300,000 kWh of charge. The station supports “3.5C” supercharging, enabling trucks to gain approximately 62 miles of range in just five minutes, which translates into substantial cost savings of about $21,000 annually per vehicle. The hub integrates nearly 1 MW of solar power via a photovoltaic carport and two 215 kWh wind-liquid energy storage units, forming a “source-grid-load-storage” microgrid that can operate both connected to and independently from the main grid.
