Last month, SERES organized the AITO brand launch conference in Chongqing and launched the high-end smart new-electric vehicle brand, unveiled the logo, and announced that it would release its first model on December 23. According to the previous info, the list of new energy vehicles by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reveals that this car is the Huawei Smart Selection M5 and AITO M5.
New Information:
Just recently, the Chinese media got the application plan of AITO M5. This model will offer three powertrains. Let’s dive into the new car specification.
This new smart electric car comes with 4770 x 1930 x 1625 mm (length, width, height) and with a 2880mm wheelbase. In terms of styling, the car uses a very sporty design language, with a large area air intake grille (hybrid) at the front and a slim through-type taillight design at the rear.
It comes with ginconellis and a logo marked with Huawei Smart Selection M5 (Huawei Smart Selection is optional). The Pure Electric Drive Extended Range Platform DE-i is reported to have 4-second 0-100 km/h acceleration performance and a battery life of over 1000 km.
This model will also be equipped with the Harmony OS locomotive system, with a top speed of 210 km/h and a total mass of 2710 kg. In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with Extended Range Power, a 1.5T engine manufactured by Chongqing Xiaokang Power and has a maximum power of 92kW.

China’s well-known car manufacturer, Changan Automobile has denied rumors of changing its collaboration car brand name from Avita to “Huawei Avita”.
The carmaker said that Avita technology is building an international high-end SEV (Smart Electric Vehicle) brand. This firm is led by Changan Automobile, Huawei, and CATL.
These companies empower different parts of the Avita technologies including vehicle R&D, smart manufacturing, smart car solutions, and smart power ecosystem.
The firms are working in synergy to create a new generation of smart electric vehicle technology called CHN. It has a new architecture, strong computing, and high-voltage charging.
According to the information, AVITA or AVATR is jointly created by Huawei, Changan Auto, and CATL. These companies built battery solutions and vehicle manufacturing done by Changan Auto.
Also, Huawei has no shares in Avita but it supplies important hardware including electric motors and software for smart driving, connectivity, and infotainment system powered by the HarmonyOS operating system.
Avita is looking to unveil the new Avita 11 later this year, while the company has successfully completed a large number of delivery in 2022.
Last week, Avita announced the Avita 11 single motor vehicle, which is a new version of 2022’s Avita 11 dual-motor four-wheel drive.
Huawei is working with its car partner to build better EVs and smart cars in China. However, the company’s recent leak of a 600kW Huawei charger station shows that it’s far ahead of the competition such as Tesla.
Recently, some live images of Huawei’s exclusive 600kW supercharging station leaked online. The charging station is located in the open in a Chinese industrial area. The shape is square, and there is a cooling device at the bottom.
The specs details on the charger reveal “Huawei Digital Power Technology Co. LTD” as the manufacturer. While this new unit is manufactured in December last year.
The size dimensions are 295 x 340 x 1700 mm and it’s very tall and painted in red Huawei color.
The model number of this charger is DT600L1-CNA1 and it supports China’s national standard 2015 DC fast charging, single-gun output, and the output voltage range is 200-1000V. On the other hand, the maximum output current is 600A, and the maximum output power is 600kW.
While searching, we found that this is called “FusionCharger” and it’s a liquid-cooled charger. It has a charging hub that ranges up to 3.5 meters, which reason it’s using a thick body.
Some industry experts say that Huawei planned to rollout these chargers in 2035 but the company is already giving a test drive for the limited users in advance. We could also take it as an advance move to cover the upcoming Huawei AITO Wenji M9 model, which will launch later this year.
Similar superchargers are designed with two charging ports and a rated voltage of 1000V. The rated total output power is 360kW. The output power of a single charging cable is 180kW, and the maximum output current is 250A.
Faster than Tesla:
In comparison, Tesla’s current generation of V3 chargers can only provide 250kW power. Also, the upcoming V4 supercharger is expected to take it up to 350 kW. Still, the current exposure of the Huawei charger keeps it faster than Tesla.
But we need to wait for the final release to know more about the specs of this 600kW Huawei EV charger.
