Huawei Technologies and 11 new energy vehicle makers have established a 'supercharging' alliance, with the Chinese tech giant planning to build more than 100,000 of its SuperCharge charging piles around China this year.

The new charging piles will be installed via the joint efforts of Huawei and its clients and partners, the Shenzhen-based company announced yesterday.

Among the NEV makers joining the alliance are BYD, Huawei's car-making partner Seres Group, Avatr Technology, and well-known EV startups Hozon Auto, Xpeng Motors, and Li Auto. The NEV units of conventional vendors, including BAIC Group, JAC Motors, Great Wall Motors, GAC Group, and Chery Automobile, will also take part.

Huawei aims to speed up building high-quality charging infrastructure focusing on super-fast charging, China Securities Journal reported late on the same day, citing Hou Jinlong, director and president of Huawei Digital Power, as saying at a business planning and new product launch event.

The move will enable car-making partners to focus solely on enhancing the competitiveness of their electric vehicles by removing the need to build charging networks themselves to better advance EVs' consumption growth and fast popularization, Hou added.

Huawei's vision for building the charging network is 'letting NEVs use new energy power' and 'letting high-quality charging exist wherever there is a road,' Hou pointed out.

The Huawei SuperCharge charging piles have been installed in almost all Chinese provincial-level regions, Hou said. The charging network covers extreme environmental scenarios, including high temperature, severe cold, high altitude, and others, he added.

Huawei has over 20,000 super-fast charging piles finished and put into operation in China, according to previous data.
