Recently, the "Fully Silicon Carbide Network Type 10kV Directly Mounted Super Charging System" developed by the State Grid Hunan Electric Power Research Institute passed the review of the first major technical equipment in the energy sector by the National Energy Administration and is undergoing trial operation at a supercharging station in the Xiangjiang New Area of Hunan, with a charging speed of up to 1 second per kilometer. At this charging station, six charging piles are equipped with 11 charging guns, capable of simultaneously charging and discharging 11 vehicles. They not only charge quickly but can also automatically adjust the "water flow" like an "intelligent faucet," precisely controlling the charging speed and power according to the vehicle type, thereby better protecting the battery. It is reported that this is the first commercial application of domestically produced medium-voltage silicon carbide devices, with costs reduced by 20%
