Jointly Charging the Road Ahead | Huawei Releases Top 10 Trends of Charging Network Industry 2025

Trend 1: High-Quality Development

High-quality development of charging networks has become an industry trend. The entire industry will undergo profound changes centering on high-quality development. Technologies will be iterated rapidly, and core charger enterprises will encounter a sharp decrease.

Trend 2: Comprehensive Ultra-fast Charging

"Ultra-fast charging" is a buzzword of 2024 for the industry. Multiple cities in China have started to deploy ultra-fast charging facilities, boosting the explosive growth of the number of EV models that support ultra-fast charging. It is estimated that all typical EV models will support ultra-fast charging in all scenarios by 2028.

Trend 3: Optimal Experience

Mature technologies of intelligent head units, intelligent driving, and intelligent chargers promote the charging experience to be digital, intelligent, and automatic, driving the advent of the era of digitalized charging experience.

Trend 4: Electrified Logistics

To achieve the goal of replacing oil with electricity for heavy goods vehicles, charging is the core obstacle. Ultra-fast charging technologies will completely overcome industry hurdles. Ultra-fast charging has advantages such as low construction capital expenditure (CAPEX), high charging compatibility, easy device maintenance, and small station footprint, promoting to achieve electrified logistics for the industry.

Trend 5: Grid Friendliness

In the future, power grid interaction will transit from passive to active response, and from one-way to multiple-way interaction to ensure power grid safety.

Trend 6: Multi-level Power Pooling

With increasing compatible EV models and wider power ranges, commercial EVs will even support megawatt-level charging. Facing ever-changing requirements, the power pooling technology will evolve from split-type charger application to multi-level power pooling, and extend to power grids and EVs. This evolution reduces electricity dependency on power grids, supports evolution with EV models, and meets EV requirements to the maximum extent.

Trend 7: Fully Liquid-Cooled Charging

Charging scenarios are increasingly diverse, especially including more extreme environments. Therefore, the industry is accelerating the deployment of high-power liquid-cooled charging equipment. Liquid-cooled power unit + liquid-cooled charging dispenser will become the best combination.

Trend 8: PV+ESS+Charger Integration

The traditional solution of "stacking PV, ESS, and charging cabinets" will gradually evolve to the solution of "intelligent integration" that will improve the benefits throughout the lifecycle, be friendly to power grids, and ensure safety of the charging station.

Trend 9: Low-Power DC Charging

Campus will be the core scenario for future V2G development. As low-power DC charging is becoming popular, it has more digital functions such as bonus point calculation, centralized deployment, easy management and control, and V2G evolution.

Trend 10: Electrical Safety

As charging scenarios are expanding to densely populated environments, electrical safety requirements will shift from single-point control to unified control for people, EVs, chargers, and ESSs.
