Halo Energy and XPENG open world s first 1MW flash charging station
Infrastructure developer Halo Energy partnered with automotive manufacturer XPENG to open a one megawatt commercial vehicle flash charging station in Hong Kong to support fleet electrification
Hong Kong's first 1MW flash charging station, co-developed by Halo Energy and XPENG, officially opened on September 22, 2026 at Tung Po's outdoor car park in San Po Kong. This charging station marks a significant milestone in the oil-electricity parity era, offering 16 times faster charging power compared to conventional 60kW stations.
XPENG's latest models support 5C charging, adding 450 km of range in just 9 minutes, delivering refueling speeds comparable to petrol vehicles. The ceremony was attended by notable figures including John Tsang Chun-wah, Ms. Elizabeth Quat, and Ng Chun-kei. The X-Energy energy storage battery, built using automotive-grade safety standards and LFP cells, features a smart liquid-cooling system, OCPP 1.6J protocol, plug-and-charge, multiple payment methods, and V2G capabilities.
This innovative solution overcomes grid constraints, enabling flash charging in outdoor environments with limited power conditions, accelerating the adoption of electric commercial vehicles in Hong Kong.
