Huawei is developing a solid-state EV battery it says can deliver 1,800 miles of range after a five-minute charge.
The project appears in a 2023 patent filing, suggesting it has been in development for at least two years.
Solid-state batteries are seen as a possible step forward for energy storage in the electric vehicle market, offering more power in the same space and improved safety.
Details remain limited, but if the figures hold up, it would mark a sharp change from what today’s EV battery designs can achieve.

Huawei’s EV battery plan takes shape
According to industry reports, the EV battery uses solid-state materials instead of the liquid electrolyte found in most current designs.
This change can make the cells more compact and less prone to overheating.
Huawei’s patent outlines methods to allow extremely fast charging without damaging the battery.
Current fast-charging systems usually add 200 to 300 miles in 15 to 30 minutes, so a five-minute charge for 1,800 miles would be a major increase in performance.
Even so, the technology is not ready for mass production.
Solid-state manufacturing is expensive and difficult to scale, and new designs need extensive testing before they can be sold.
Analysts expect it could be several years before this kind of EV battery is available to consumers.
What it could mean for drivers
If Huawei’s solid-state EV battery reaches production, it could make long trips in an electric vehicle possible without frequent charging stops.
That would address one of the main concerns for potential EV buyers.
The same technology could be applied to buses, trucks, and other transport that require quick charging and long range.
Huawei joins several other companies working on solid-state designs, including Toyota and BMW, as the global race to improve EV battery technology continues.
The timeline for release remains unclear, but the project shows the wider shift toward next-generation batteries in the electric vehicle sector.
If Huawei can overcome the challenges of production, testing, and cost, the result could be a battery that changes how far and how quickly an electric vehicle can travel.
