Huawei’s design aims to boost safety and cycle life by mitigating degradation at this critical junction. Huawei’s involvement in solid-state battery research reflects a broader trend among Chinese technology and automotive companies. While Huawei does not manufacture power batteries, it has shown increasing interest in upstream battery materials.
While Huawei does not manufacture power batteries, it has shown increasing interest in upstream battery materials. Earlier in 2025, the company filed a separate patent on the synthesis of sulfide electrolytes — a key material known for its high conductivity but also high cost, sometimes exceeding the price of gold.
While Huawei’s claims of a 3,000-kilometre range and five-minute charging have generated widespread attention, experts warn that such figures remain theoretical and would require charging infrastructure that is not yet commercially available.
China’s EV and tech sectors are aggressively exploring solid-state battery technologies to reduce reliance on established battery suppliers such as CATL and BYD. Companies like Xiaomi, and Nio, depend on third-party battery manufacturers.
