The affiliate, Orange Charging, has, as of late, introduced a liquid-cooled, flexible, and shared megawatt supercharging pile recently.

However, this particular super-charger from Orange Charging is capable of delivering a maximum output of 1,600 kW. This development also promises to add a 100-kilometer range in just a minute of charging.
Furthermore, the pile is equipped with the upgraded Orange Charging unicorn OS intelligent system, enabling the most flexible power distribution.
Right now, the Orange Charging system boasts more than 46,000 charging stations, with over 47 percent offering a single-gun maximum charging power of 180kW or more.
Experts are seeing this unveiling aligning with a broader industry trend moving to megawatt flash charging, which is a technological innovation designed to reduce EV charging times drastically, aiming to make them comparable to having to refuel a gasoline vehicle. Also investing in this area are Huawei, BYD, and more.
