New Huawei solid-state EV battery could charge in five minutes and deliver over 1,300 miles of range
This is news that should fuel excitement The post New Huawei solid-state EV battery could charge in five minutes and deliver over 1,300 miles of range appeared first on Supercar Blondie.
Despite no one ever really needing to do over 1,300 miles of range in an EV in one go, tech giant Huawei has created a solid-state EV battery that can do just that, with the added bonus of charging in just five minutes.
While Huawei seems to be operating under the mantra of faster and further, the tech giant has made some big claims with an unbelievable patent to back them up.
The tech giant filed a patent for solid-state batteries that have an energy density of 400-500 watts per kilogram, which China’s CLTC calculations show that a medium-sized sedan could cover 1,860 miles on a single charge.
Some think that Huawei is being hopelessly optimistic and that the claims are too crazy and bold to hold much weight, but if this ends up working, it could change the very core of electric transport forever.

This EV battery could deliver over 1,300 miles of range
If you wanted to do a daily commute to the Arctic Circle in an EV, maybe Huawei has just the thing you’re looking for.
The tech giant has filed a patent in China for a solid-state battery that comes with some wild claims.
The first claim comes backed up by some deliriously optimistic CLTC findings, and it says that the battery’s 400-500 watts per kg energy density will mean that the EVs with the battery have 1,860 miles of range on one charge.
However, the CLTC calculations seem almost too optimistic, so the number batted around more is 1,300 miles of range on a single charge.
Charging in just five minutes? Yeah right
Apparently, the patent could mean it would only take five minutes to charge the EV battery – not just to 80 percent, but the whole way.
Now it sounds incredible, but all the obvious issues with creating something techy and brand new are that the manufacturing of something like this will be incredibly expensive and also heavy.
Do we think that the reason no one had filed a patent because these sound impossible to build and make exist? Well, time will only tell.
