Huawei published the top 10 trends of the charging network industry 2025 with the theme “Taking the path forward together”. Wang Zhiwu, President of Huawei Smart Charging Network Domain, interprets the top 10 charging infrastructure industry trends for 2025 from the perspective of industry development directions and technology development path.
He notes that electric vehicles (EVs) have again performed better than expected. It is estimated that the number of electric vehicles worldwide will reach 480 million within 10 years. We are already in the era of widespread electrification. In the future, Huawei will work with partners and customers to accelerate ultra-fast charger coverage in all scenarios. In the tide of vehicle electrification, we are committed to realizing the vision of collectively charging the road ahead.
Trend 1: Development with high quality standards
The high-quality expansion of charging networks has developed into a trend in the industry. The entire industry will undergo a profound transformation with high-quality development at its core. Technologies will evolve rapidly and the number of companies focused on core business will decline sharply.
Trend 2: Widespread ultra-fast charging
“Ultra-fast charging” is a 2024 industry buzzword. Several cities in China have begun to deploy ultra-fast charging facilities, adding to the explosive growth in the number of EV models that support ultra-fast charging. It is expected that all typical electric vehicle models will support ultra-fast charging in all scenarios by 2028.
Trend 3: Optimal experience
The mature technologies of intelligent control devices, intelligent driving and intelligent chargers promote a digital, intelligent and automatic charging experience, ushering in the era of digitized charging experience.
Trend 4: Electrified logistics
To achieve the goal of replacing oil with electricity for heavy-duty vehicles, charging is the main obstacle. The ultra-fast charging technologies will completely overcome the industry’s hurdles. Ultra-fast charging has advantages such as low capital expenditure (CAPEX), high charging compatibility, easy maintenance of devices and small space requirement for charging stations, which promotes the development of electrified logistics for the industry.
Trend 5: Grid friendliness
In the future, the interaction in the power grid will move from passive to active response and from one-way to multi-way interaction to ensure the security of the power grid.
Trend 6: Multi-stage power pooling
With more and more compatible electric vehicle models and longer ranges, commercial electric vehicles will even support megawatt charging. With ever-changing needs, energy pooling technology will evolve from shared charger application to multi-level energy pooling and expand to power grids and electric vehicles. This development reduces the dependence on the power grids, supports the development of EV models and meets the requirements of EVs to the highest degree.
Trend 7: Fully liquid-cooled charging
Charging scenarios are becoming more and more diverse, especially in more extreme environments. Therefore, the industry is accelerating the use of liquid-cooled high-performance chargers. Liquid cooled unit + liquid cooled charging station will be the best combination.
Trend 8: PV+ESS+charger integration
The traditional solution of “stacking PV, ESS and charging cabinets” will gradually evolve into a solution of “intelligent integration”, which improves the life cycle benefits, conserves power grids and ensures the safety of the charging station.
Trend 9: Low-Power-DC-Ladung
The campus will be the central scenario for future V2G development. As low-power DC charging stations become more popular, they have more digital features, such as: B. the calculation of bonus points, central provision, easy management and control as well as V2G development.
Trend 10: Electrical Safety
As charging scenarios expand into densely populated environments, electrical safety requirements will shift from single point control to unified control of people, EVs, chargers and ESS.
