Hou Jinlong delivered a keynote speech on "Building a Supercharging Network, Improving User Experience, and Accelerating Vehicle Electrification", saying: "After more than ten years of development, China's new energy vehicles have seen obvious 'three changes', that is, users have shifted from operating car users to private car users, and the electrification path has shifted from large battery life to ultra-fast charging, and the number of new energy vehicles has developed from millions to tens of millions. These changes are moving from quantitative to qualitative changes, and accelerating the construction of high-quality charging infrastructure based on ultra-fast charging and improving user experience will be the key to driving these three transformations. We today announced our electrification strategy, which is committed to integrating digital technology and power electronics technology, promoting the integration of green energy and transportation electrification, and working with customers and partners to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles. ”
Huawei unveiled its "One Body, Three Sides" electrification strategy
For the automotive electrification industry, Huawei Digital Power is positioned as a provider of power domain and charging network solutions. In the field of smart electric vehicles, we are committed to helping car companies build good cars and bring users the ultimate driving experience, and in the field of smart charging networks, we are committed to providing operators with high-quality charging solutions and bringing users a fast energy replenishment experience. Huawei's "One Body, Three Sides" electrification strategy released today is based on a unified technology foundation and includes three main aspects:
- "Let new energy vehicles use new energy electricity": help the transformation and coordinated development of new energy vehicles and new power systems. In addition to supporting the increase in the proportion of renewable energy in the power grid, Huawei Digital Power also provides integrated solutions for optical storage and charging in scenarios such as industrial and commercial parks and along highways. In household scenarios such as households, local consumption of green electricity is realized. In addition, we should explore new energy vehicles as mobile energy storage to support V2H, V2B, and V2G, give full play to the role of reverse discharge of new energy vehicles, and improve the friendliness of the power grid while enhancing the penetration rate of new energy.
- "Let there be high-quality charging where there is a road": Through the "one kilometer per second" fully liquid-cooled supercharging solution, it helps build a high-quality charging infrastructure of "surface, line, and point", and builds urban supercharging circles, high-speed supercharging lines, and township supercharging points. Huawei's fully liquid-cooled supercharging solution has been deployed in more than 30 provinces, including Beijing, Guangdong, Chongqing, Shanghai, Hainan, Inner Mongolia, and Sichuan, covering extreme environments such as high temperatures, severe cold, and high altitudes. In 2024, Huawei plans to work with customers and partners to deploy more than 100,000 ultra-fast charging piles. Huawei Digital Power has also launched charging solutions for the county market, supporting ultra-fast integration, expansion and evolution, and a long life span of 15 years, helping to realize "county and county supercharging stations, and township supercharging piles".
- "Let new energy vehicles have an excellent power experience": Through the layout of leading silicon carbide devices, ultra-high-speed motors, thermal management and other technologies, a variety of high-voltage and high-efficiency electric drive systems have been launched to help car companies create ultra-fast energy replenishment of "one kilometer per second" and "ten kilometers of electricity" efficient energy experience for users. The new DriveONE hyper-converged electric drive system will be launched, and it will work with car companies and leading battery manufacturers to jointly define A-class supercharging vehicles. In the future, Huawei DriveONE will continue to launch leading intelligent power domain fusion solutions to achieve an excellent power experience of "10 kilometers of electricity, safe travel around the world".
Accelerate the construction of high-quality charging infrastructure based on ultra-fast charging, and promote the rapid popularization of electric vehicles
Only by accelerating the construction of high-quality charging infrastructure based on ultra-fast charging and benefiting multiple parties can we promote the consumption and rapid popularization of electric vehicles, such as better user experience, reasonable operator revenue, more popularization of electric vehicles, more friendly power grids, safer urban governance, and high resource utilization.
- Better experience, let users "buy with confidence": the charging network should achieve multi-scenario and wide coverage, so that "where there is a road, there is high-quality charging", users can charge, charge quickly, charge well, and enjoy the charging experience of "plug and charge, charge and go";
- Operators have a reasonable return, so that charging operators can "build with confidence" and continue to provide high-quality services for car owners: the sustainable development of charging stations requires highly reliable, long-life-cycle and operable equipment to reduce subsequent expensive operating costs. Huawei's ultra-fast charging solution features functions such as power pooling and flexible sharing, improving power and land utilization, and providing upgradability, expansion, and flexible evolution.
- Let car companies build good cars with confidence: Huawei is working with charging operators across the country to accelerate the construction of high-quality charging networks, so that car companies can build their own charging networks without having to invest in teams and funds. Cooperate with the alliance car companies to develop value-added features such as vehicle-machine collaborative pile finding, plug and charge without swiping cards, and automatic charging, so as to improve user experience, enhance the competitiveness of alliance car companies, and accelerate the popularization of new energy vehicles.
- Grid-friendly, so that the power grid "rest assured power supply and distribution": through the application of photovoltaic storage, direct and flexible, orderly charging, demand response, VPP virtual power plant and other technologies, a large number of electric vehicles can be transformed into a reservoir of "peak regulation and frequency regulation" of the power grid, so that electric vehicles can become an organic part of the new power system, realize vehicle-network interaction, and ensure the safe operation of the power grid.
- Make urban governance "more efficient": follow the principle of "unified planning, unified standards, unified construction, and unified supervision", build a high-quality charging infrastructure based on ultra-fast charging, and realize the transformation from uneven distribution and disorderly charging to unified planning, intensive and orderly charging.
The "Supercharging Alliance" was established to create a supercharging network with ultimate experience and wide coverage
An open ecosystem is the cornerstone of high-quality and sustainable development of the industry. At the press conference, Huawei Digital Power also joined hands with car companies, charging operators, and industry partners to establish the "Supercharging Alliance", adhering to the tenet of "open innovation, ecosystem building, and win-win cooperation", and "making high-quality charging available wherever there is a road", creating a new era of supercharging. By creating a supercharging network with the ultimate experience and wide coverage, users can "buy new energy vehicles with confidence", car companies can "focus on building good cars", operators can "build good stations with confidence", operate efficiently, increase revenue, and make urban governance more efficient and safer. Through technological innovation, new energy vehicles and charging facilities will become an organic part of the new power system, so that the power grid can "supply and distribute with confidence". In addition, the "Supercharging Alliance" will also jointly expand overseas markets and promote the supercharging standard to become an international standard, so that the "Supercharging Alliance" car companies can reduce the cost of going overseas and accelerate the pace of going overseas.
