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.
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.
