• ZEEKR has announced a 1.2 MW EV charger, the most powerful in the world, surpassing BYD's 1 MW charger unveiled earlier this month.
• The charger, featuring liquid-cooled cables to manage heat, will be publicly showcased at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2025.
• Huawei has entered the competition with plans to debut a 1.5 MW charger aimed at heavy-duty vehicles later in April, further intensifying the race.
• Western automakers lag behind, with most EVs charging at sub-300 kW rates, underscoring a growing technological gap with China.
• ZEEKR has not yet introduced a vehicle capable of fully utilizing its 1.2 MW charger, raising questions about practical applications for passenger EVs.
