Does Huawei make batteries?

Even though Huawei doesn't manufacture batteries, the company is putting plenty of R&D resources into developing a new solid-state battery tech. The newest patent reveals a battery pack that can go for 1,860 miles away from the plug and fully charge in just five minutes. This is perhaps one of the craziest technologies we've heard so far.

How much does a Huawei battery cost?

Furthermore, the high production costs, which are currently between 8,000 and 10,000 yuan per kWh (about 1,100–1,400 USD), often prevent mass-market adoption. Huawei patents solid-state battery with 3,000 km range and 5-minute charge, promising breakthrough energy density and fast charging.

What is Huawei's new EV battery?

Smartphone giant and EV investor Huawei has challenged CATL and BYD's supremacy by inventing a pioneering new battery that blends an incredible range of up to 3000km with a charging time of just five minutes.

Will Huawei's new battery improve energy storage?

In an effort to improve its energy storage, Huawei has submitted a patent application for a battery with a 3,000-kilometre range and a five-minute charging time. Compared to traditional lithium-ion cells, the new sulphide-based solid-state battery will have energy densities between 400 and 500 Wh/kg, or two to three times higher.

Is Huawei developing a solid-state battery?

According to the patent, Huawei is developing a solid-state battery architecture with an energy density between 400 and 500 Wh/kg—reportedly three times higher than that of conventional lithium-ion cells used in today’s electric vehicles.

Will Huawei make EV batteries?

With the patent filed, it’s not known what the tech giant plans next as Huawei does not currently have any manufacturing facilities that are suitable for mass-producing batteries for the car industry. Its involvement in the EV industry is as technology supplier and partner to several Chinese makers rather than building its own vehicles.
