China First Automobile Works (FAW) has developed a 1700V SiC power module, which is expected to advance EV charging systems toward ultra-high voltage platforms and reduce charging time to 5 minutes.

Powered by a domestically-made 1700V SiC chip, the module boosts power density and efficiency, delivering high output with low energy loss. It displays strong stability when working under extreme pressure and temperature.

FAW states this technology aims to ease charging and range anxiety for EV drivers, paving the way for future Hongqi models capable of 5-minute rapid recharging.
