Charging an electric car is getting easier thanks to Huawei’s new robotic arm system. Think of it as a gas station attendant that never gets tired – it plugs in your car, handles the payment, and gets you back on the road quickly.
The system’s 600kW supercharger can add enough power in five minutes to drive 200 kilometers. That’s about as long as a quick coffee break. No more standing in the rain or snow to plug in your car. Just park, and the robotic arm does the rest.
“This technology offers drivers greater comfort, eliminating the need to get out of the vehicle to plug in a cable,” explains Huawei in their demonstration. This is especially helpful for people with reduced mobility, and also during bad weather conditions.
The system works with many popular Chinese car brands like BYD, Xpeng, and JAC. Some newer cars, like Huawei’s Maextro S800, can even park themselves at the charger. The car finds an empty spot, parks itself, and starts charging – all while you stay comfortable inside.

Safety comes first – the robotic arm monitors for any obstacles while plugging in. When charging finishes, it automatically processes your payment and unplugs, letting you drive away without touching a thing.
Starting in the second quarter of 2025, Huawei plans to install these charging stations across China. This could make charging as convenient as filling up at a gas station, maybe even easier. For people worried about the hassle of charging electric cars, this technology removes many common concerns.
The system builds on earlier attempts to make charging easier, but adds faster charging speeds and better automation. As more of these stations appear, charging an electric car could become as simple as parking and walking away.
This kind of innovation matters because it makes electric cars more practical for everyday use. When charging becomes this easy and fast, more people might feel confident about switching to electric vehicles.
