From BGR (né Boy Genius Report before they grew up), August 7:
Huawei is working on a new EV battery that could completely revolutionize the electric vehicle industry. For years, engineers and researchers have been looking for some way to drastically improve EV batteries and help eliminate concerns like range anxiety, which has kept many from adopting new EVs and ditching fossil fuel-powered vehicles.
While we've seem some impressive breakthroughs — like the battery design that will make EVs lighter — others have focused more on providing fast-charging capabilities, delivering up to 250 miles of range with a few moments of charging. Now, though, Huawei appears to be working on an absolutely mind-boggling battery that would allow for more than 1,800 miles of range after only five minutes on the charger.
If that type of breakthrough sounds too good to be true, it just might be. Despite seeming promising, many believe that this kind of technological breakthrough could still be years away, as it relies on an entirely new type of battery design called a solid-state battery.A battery breakthrough that's likely still years away
The downside to the work on this new solid-state battery, though, is that many doubt the battery's short-term feasibility. That's not only because delivering that kind of range and fast charging is a lot to expect from a single generation of battery developments — it's also because solid-state battery tech is still very much in its infancy. While we've seen increased charging speeds on EV batteries in recent years, we have yet to really see anyone truly deliver on a charge that can fully refill a vehicle's battery in minutes....
