Huawei’s New EV Battery Can Go 3,000 Km and Charge in 5 Minutes
Chinese tech company Huawei has shared a new idea for an electric car (EV) battery. This new battery can run for 3,000 km on one charge and can be fully charged in just 5 minutes.
If this becomes real, it can change the future of electric cars in a big way.
How is this battery different?
This battery is a solid-state battery, which is different from the normal batteries we see today.
Huawei has used a special material called nitrogen-doped sulfide electrolyte. Because of this, the battery can store more energy — almost 2 to 3 times more than normal lithium-ion batteries.
The battery is also more stable and safer. It does not have as many problems like overheating or catching fire. And the biggest plus point is that it can charge from 0 to 100% in only 5 minutes — faster than filling petrol in a car!
Can it really work in real life?
Even though this battery sounds amazing, experts say it may not be so easy to use in real life right now. There are some big problems:
- Very costly: Making this battery is very expensive. The special material costs around ₹1.2 lakh per kWh.
- No proper chargers yet: We do not have charging stations that can support such fast charging safely.
Huawei also does not make batteries yet, but they have started investing a lot in battery research. This shows they may plan to enter the battery market soon.
About the driving range
Huawei said the battery can run over 3,000 km on one charge. But this number is based on a test used in China called CLTC, which usually shows higher range.
If tested with stricter standards like in the USA (EPA test), the range will be around 2,000 km, which is still very impressive compared to today’s electric cars.
Other companies working on similar batteries
Big companies like Toyota, Samsung SDI, and CATL are also working on solid-state batteries. They plan to launch them between 2027 and 2030.
Huawei’s new idea has surprised many people. If they can make this battery for real, it will remove two big problems in EVs today: long charging time and range anxiety (fear of running out of battery).
Conclusion
Huawei’s new battery idea looks very promising. But it will take time to make it cheaper and easy to use on a large scale.
If they succeed, electric cars will become much better and more popular. People won’t have to worry about charging or driving long distances anymore.
