On November 30, Mercedes-Benz and BMW jointly announced that they will cooperate in the construction of a supercharging network in China, which is a cooperation between Mercedes-Benz (China) Investment*** and BMW Brilliance Automotive***.
Under the agreement, the two companies will establish a 50:50 joint venture in China, which will focus on operating a supercharging network in China to "meet the growing demand for luxury charging services from Chinese customers." This is another blockbuster cooperation in the field of new energy vehicles after Weilai has officially announced that it has reached a cooperative relationship with Changan and Geely Holding on the battery swap mode - especially this is from the two direct competitors in the past that everyone understands, which makes people feel the degree of "volume" in the domestic new energy vehicle market, which can make these two old German car companies really come together. According to the news released by the two parties, the joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and BMW in China plans to build at least 1,000 supercharging stations in China by the end of 2026, including about 7,000 supercharging piles. The first batch of supercharging stations are planned to be launched and put into operation in China's "key new energy vehicle cities" starting in 2024, and users under the Mercedes-Benz and BMW Group will "enjoy exclusive exclusive services" and realize plug and charge. At the same time, the charging network will also be open to the public. The joint venture will emphasize the convenience, speed and quality of charging.

8. Liquid-cooled supercharging, a new outlet for new energy
Because of the existence of energy replenishment anxiety, supercharging has quickly become a hot word in the past two years, and configuration words such as 800V platform, 4C battery, and 4C charging station have also increasingly appeared on consumers' car purchase lists. Behind the supercharging, the technical points that support the supercharging to achieve better performance in real-world applications have gradually entered the market's field of vision. During this year's Shanghai Auto Show, Huawei unveiled a fully liquid-cooled supercharging architecture and shouted an ultra-fast charging experience of "one kilometer per second". In the second half of the year, Huawei's fully liquid-cooled supercharging was also officially launched on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line. On November 28, Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei and chairman of the intelligent vehicle solution BU, pointed out at the release of Zhijie S7 that it is expected to deploy more than 100,000 Huawei fully liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging by the end of 2024.
