Huawei rolls out ultrafast EV chargers in China, taking on Tesla

GUANGZHOU -- Huawei Technologies plans to install 100,000 fast EV-charging stations in China this year, including units more than twice as fast as Tesla's, providing infrastructure that could give a boost to fast-charging vehicles from Chinese automakers.

A charging station advertising 1 kilometer of range for every second of charging can be found in the parking lot of a shopping center in Huawei's home city of Shenzhen, with "600kW" shown beneath the Huawei logo.
