Huawei and SP Mobility have introduced ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) charging paired with a battery energy storage system (BESS) at Temasek Polytechnic (TP).
The move comes as EVs accounted for nearly half of all new car registrations in Singapore last year, according to the Land Transport Authority. It builds on the 2025 collaboration between SP Mobility, Huawei and LTA’s subsidiary EV-Electric Charging (EVe) to support Singapore’s EV transition with accessible and high‑performance public charging solutions.
The deployment at TP integrates Huawei’s liquid-cooled ultra-fast direct-current technology with on-site BESS that stores electricity when the charger is idle and releases it during charging sessions. Doing so enables high-power charging without extensive electrical infrastructure upgrades, a constraint that has slowed deployment in dense urban areas that cannot support high-charging loads.
Each charger carries a maximum rating of 480 kilowatts (kW) and is configured to operate at 400kW based on local power availability. For compatible vehicles, it can add up to 200 kilometres of range in about five minutes, supporting commercial fleets including electric heavy goods vehicles and other high-mileage users.
“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. Together with our valued partners, we will continue driving advancements in fast‑charging accessibility to support Singapore’s evolving e‑mobility landscape,” says Dean Cher, managing director of SP Mobility.
Maxi Wang, CEO of Huawei International, adds: “[This deployment] 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 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."

The deployment also strengthens TP’s applied learning and workforce development efforts. Since November 2024, TP has trained nearly 140 working adults in EV safety and maintenance through Continuing Education and Training programmes, while Pre-employment Training students pursue Green Transportation and Storage as part of their Engineering diplomas. Both lead to National EV Specialist Safety Certification.
“Temasek Polytechnic is proud to partner SP Mobility and Huawei to host Singapore’s first liquid-cooled ultra-fast EV charging station. The introduction of advanced charging facilities on campus also provides learners with hands-on exposure to next-generation EV technologies,” says Patrice Choong, principal and CEO of Temasek Polytechnic.
