Placing a Xiaomi 13 Ultra phone on the car wireless charger for charging, the power at this moment is 24V 0.565A 13.56W.
Placing a vivo X100 Pro phone on the car wireless charger for charging, the power at this moment is 24V 0.25A 6.05W.
12V Voltage Input
Connecting the Huawei 80W car wireless charger to the included car charger and using a 12V voltage for testing, and placing a Huawei Mate 60 Pro phone on the car wireless charger for charging, the power at this moment is 12V 4.66A 55.97W, which is almost the same as under 24V voltage.
Full Charging Test
Connecting the Huawei 80W car wireless charger to a Huawei Mate 60 Pro, placing them in a constant temperature box at 25℃ and powering them on, the test results are as follows. # Charging Data Analysis
Connecting to the power supply, the 24V voltage handshake initiates. In the first 4 minutes, the power remains stable at around 48W, reaching a peak of 51W. Subsequently, it decreases to around 30W and continues until 52 minutes. The power then gradually diminishes until fully charged, taking approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes for the entire charging process.
Plotting the charging data into a line graph, it is observed that using the Huawei 80W car wireless charger to charge the Huawei Mate 60 Pro takes 28 minutes to reach 50% charge, 48 minutes for 80% charge, and a total of 1 hour and 5 minutes for a complete charge.
Temperature Testing
Placing the charger in a constant temperature chamber at 25℃, we examine the wireless charging temperature performance of the Huawei 80W car wireless charger for the Huawei Mate 60 Pro.
After 20 minutes, using a thermal imaging camera, the highest temperature recorded for the Huawei 80W car wireless charger is 38.8℃, while the back of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro reaches a maximum temperature of about 36.6℃. It can be seen that the Huawei 80W car wireless charger does not overheat during the charging process for the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, providing a warm touch on the screen and maintaining good temperature performance during charging.
In-Car Charging Scenario Test
After fixing the Huawei 80W car wireless charger onto the air vent grid using the clamp, adjusted using the knob for secure placement, phones with wireless charging capabilities, like the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, display the Huawei 50W SuperCharge UI when attached. For phones without wireless charging capabilities, the charging port at the bottom of the Huawei 80W car wireless charger allows direct connection with the phone through a charging cable, without affecting usability.
As shown in the image, the side walls of the mount automatically expand when a phone is brought close to the car wireless charger and close once the phone is placed; they automatically expand and contract when removing the phone, enabling one-handed operation even while driving. It can also be mounted on the dashboard using a flat adhesive base, suitable for various car models.
Although charging proceeds normally, the adhesive is strong and may be hard to remove once placed in a desired position.
Conclusion on Charger Features
The Huawei 80W car wireless charger offers two installation options: vent mounting and dashboard mounting, featuring an induction-powered automatic grip that allows single-handed unlocking while driving, ensuring safe operation without diverting attention. The charger includes a built-in car adapter that not only powers the car wireless charger but also supports a 10W wired output for emergency phone charging or powering a dashcam.
In terms of performance testing, the Huawei 80W car wireless charger is naturally more compatible with Huawei phones supporting wireless charging functionality. When used with the original car adapter, regardless of running on a 12V or 24V system, the input charging power for the Huawei Mate 60 Pro remains above 50W, while for other phone brands, it generally stays around 15W.
