Huawei and SP Mobility unveil ultra-fast EV charging, integrating battery energy storage for high-power charging at locations with power limitations

Huawei and SP Mobility have launched Singapore’s first ultra‑fast electric vehicle (EV) charging enabled with battery energy storage system (BESS), at Temasek Polytechnic. This marks a key step in strengthening Singapore’s public charging infrastructure. The launch event was officiated by Mr Baey Yam Keng, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Transport, and Mayor for North East District.

The newly commissioned site integrates Huawei’s latest liquid‑cooled ultra‑fast direct current technology with a battery energy storage system. The BESS stores electricity when the charger is not in use, and discharges it back during EV charging, reducing demand on the grid, enabling faster and more reliable charging. 

The charger has a maximum power rating of 480kW, placing it among the highest rated capacity public chargers available in Singapore today. At this site, it is configured to operate at 400kW in line with on-site power availability, with actual charging speed determined by each vehicle’s compatibility. During high-power charging, the BESS provides supplemental buffering to support charging performance. It can add up to 200km of range in around five minutes for compatible vehicles, significantly reducing charging time to support the charging needs of commercial fleets, including electric heavy goods vehicles, and other high-mileage drivers. This complements SP Mobility’s partnership with Goldbell Group to support the electrification of commercial and heavy vehicles in Singapore.

The integration enhances site feasibility and provides a future-fit model for deploying advanced chargers in urban locations where existing electrical infrastructure is unable to support high-charging loads. This enables safe, reliable high-power charging without extensive infrastructure upgrades – addressing practical implementation challenges as Singapore’s public network continues to expand.

This deployment introduces SP Mobility’s fastest high-speed EV public chargers to date. It improves access to high‑performance charging in the eastern region for everyday EV drivers, high-usage fleets and electric heavy goods vehicles. It builds on the 2025 collaboration between SP Mobility, Huawei and EVe, reinforcing the partners’ shared commitment to support Singapore’s EV transition with accessible and high‑performance public charging solutions.

Through this collaboration, Temasek Polytechnic (TP) becomes the first non-residential location in the eastern region to offer ultra-fast EV charging. This will provide convenient access for drivers and fleet operators with strong connectivity to the wider road network via nearby major expressways. Beyond supporting the wider EV ecosystem, the deployment also strengthens TP’s applied learning and workforce development efforts. Since November 2024, TP has trained close to 140 working adults in EV safety and maintenance through Continuing Education and Training (CET) programmes, while the Pre-employment Training (PET) students pursue Green Transportation and Storage as part of their Engineering diplomas, both leading to National EV Specialist Safety Certification. 

Mr Maxi Wang, CEO of Huawei International, emphasised the strategic importance of this launch: "As a global leader in liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging technology with a strong track record of advanced deployments worldwide, Huawei is proud to partner with SP Mobility with EVe’s support. This site is a game-changer; it demonstrates that we are prepared to scale up ultra-fast deployments across the island to meet Singapore’s surging demand for EVs. We are not only providing the best-in-class solution to residents but also ensuring that our infrastructure aligns seamlessly with the nation’s 2040 EV vision. We want to empower Charge Point Operators (CPOs) with highly reliable and scalable solutions that create real commercial value, and we invite more partners to join us in building a greener, more connected Singapore."

Mr Dean Cher, Managing Director of SP Mobility: “These new chargers reflect SP Mobility’s focus on building a high‑performance, reliable and future‑ready charging network. As our fastest public chargers to date, they offer more efficient charging for drivers, especially those with higher daily mileage. It is a welcome addition to the SP Mobility network, which is the largest fast-charging network in Singapore. Together with our valued partners, we will continue driving advancements in fast‑charging accessibility to support Singapore’s evolving e‑mobility landscape.” 

Ms. Stephanie Tan, CEO of EV-Electric (EVe): “EVe is delighted to bring together technology experts and EV charging operators to deliver this ultra-fast charging infrastructure for Singapore. We will continue to orchestrate more of these partnerships to build a future ready public charging network to support a growing EV population in Singapore.”

Mr. Patrice Choong, Principal and CEO of Temasek Polytechnic: “Temasek Polytechnic is proud to partner SP Mobility and Huawei to host Singapore’s first liquid-cooled ultra-fast EV charging station. As a future-ready institution, TP is committed to supporting the accelerated adoption of EVs by developing a skilled, future-ready workforce. The introduction of advanced charging facilities on campus also provides learners with hands-on exposure to next-generation EV technologies. Beyond the campus, TP is also strengthening global industry exposure in EV technology with Shenzhen Polytechnic University. Through meaningful collaborations, TP aims to build the talent and capabilities needed to support the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and advance a sustainable, resilient land transport ecosystem."

According to Land Transport Authority (LTA), electric vehicles accounted for nearly half of all new car registrations in Singapore in 2025, reflecting a robust growth in adoption. As more drivers transition to EVs, the availability of faster and more convenient charging becomes increasingly important. High‑speed chargers help enable this shift by reducing charging times and supporting the needs of both public and commercial users across Singapore’s growing e‑mobility ecosystem.
