Huawei has unveiled an automated charging system featuring a robotic arm that can plug in and charge vehicles without human intervention. The technology, set to debut on the Zunjie S800 through Huawei’s Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA).
The system pairs a precision-engineered robotic arm with Huawei’s powerful 600kW liquid-cooled supercharger. Using advanced camera and radar systems, the robot identifies charging ports and initiates the connection process automatically – meaning drivers can simply park and walk away.
While the robotic arms themselves come from established third-party manufacturers, Huawei’s expertise shines through in the software layer. The company has developed sophisticated visual recognition algorithms that enable the system to work with charging ports across all Supercharging Alliance vehicles.
The charging system isn’t limited to Huawei-affiliated vehicles. The technology supports a broad ecosystem of manufacturers within the Supercharging Alliance, including major players like BYD, XPENG Motors, and Li Auto. Wide compatibility suggests Huawei is positioning the system as an industry standard rather than a proprietary solution.
Rather than operating the charging stations directly, Huawei plans to supply the robotic arms and chargers to charging operators and automakers. These partners will handle installation and deployment, potentially accelerating the technology’s rollout across charging networks.
The system has already completed its calibration phase and is approaching production readiness, with full deployment anticipated in 2025. As EVs continue gaining momentum in global markets, Huawei’s robotic charging solution could help remove one of the last remaining friction points in the electric driving experience.
