(Yicai) Dec. 8 -- Huawei Technologies will join hands with its clients and business partners to install over 100,000 Huawei SuperCharge charging piles along major roads in China next year.

The project will touch more than 340 Chinese cities, Hou Jinlong, president of Huawei Digital Power Technology, said during an industry forum yesterday. Founded in 2021, the unit of the Shenzhen-based telecoms giant focuses on clean energy generation, data centers, and electric mobility.

Huawei launched the SuperCharge platform this year to enable a range of more than 200 kilometers after just five minutes of charging. So far the platform has linked up with over 10 Chinese automakers to be compatible with more than 50 vehicle models.

Huawei Digital Power partnered with GCL Energy Technology on building a network of liquid-cooled SuperCharge stations this year, per meeting minutes that the green energy provider released in October.

China had almost eight million charging piles as of Oct. 31, up 69 percent from a year ago, per statistics from the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance. The figure includes more than 2.5 million public charging piles, rising by more than half. The country had 18.2 million new energy vehicles as of the end of September, according to official statistics.

Based on the above data, China has 2.3 NEVs per charging pile. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said earlier that charging pile market could grow so the ratio could be one car per charging pile by 2030, five years after reaching a ratio of two to one in 2025.
