If you believe the hype, we\u2019ll soon be zipping across continents on a single charge, stopping only long enough to grab a coffee while our car slurps down enough energy to power a small hospital. Here\u2019s Huawei\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/huawei-unveils-1800-mile-solid-state-ev-battery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claim<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Huawei, the Chinese technology giant, has recently made waves in the electric vehicle (EV) industry with claims of a groundbreaking solid-state battery that could redefine the future of transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to reports from TechRadar, Huawei asserts that this new battery technology can deliver an astonishing range of up to 1,800 miles on a single charge while achieving a full recharge in under five minutes. If verified, these specifications could position Huawei as a formidable player in the EV battery race, challenging established leaders like Tesla, BYD, and CATL.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, as usual, reality is hiding out in the fine print, ducking the spotlight while the PR machine does its victory lap. Nobody wants to talk about physics. Nobody asks how, exactly, you\u2019re supposed to pour Niagara Falls through a garden hose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s start with the chemistry, because that\u2019s what gets the headlines. Huawei, CATL, BYD, and every battery startup with a logo and a LinkedIn page are racing to show off lab results with solid electrolytes, nitrogen-doped sulfide electrodes, and energy densities that would make a Tesla blush. Yes, it\u2019s impressive. Yes, it\u2019s real science. Yes, the batteries likely exist, even if only in lab versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But chemistry is only half the story\u2014the easy half, frankly. The hard part is what comes after: getting all that energy in and out of the battery without melting the neighborhood.

It\u2019s a&nbsp;<em>\u201crequires the power output of a small hydroelectric dam\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy equals power multiplied by time. So: 600 kWh divided by (5\/60) hours is 7,200 kW\u20147.2&nbsp;<strong>megawatts<\/strong>\u2014per car. That\u2019s not a typo. MEGAwatts. Per car. That\u2019s the kind of load that would make your local substation break out in hives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it\u2019s not just the grid. You\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High-voltage wiring thicker than your wrist<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transformers the size of shipping containers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power cables with active cooling, or else they\u2019ll melt like a cheap extension cord at a Fourth of July barbecue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buffer batteries to keep the grid from doing a faceplant every time someone plugs in their new wonder-car<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And don\u2019t get me started on \u201cgreen electricity.\u201d The fantasy is that we\u2019ll run this whole show on wind and solar, but unless you\u2019re planning to build a solar farm the size of Luxembourg in every city, you\u2019re dreaming. Fast charging at this scale is not compatible with the current \u201cgreen\u201d grid, and won\u2019t be for decades\u2014if ever. A couple of charging poles and a few rooftop panels aren\u2019t going to cut it. We\u2019re talking industrial-scale power plants, and even then, you\u2019re right on the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the cold hand of physics. Car batteries are at around 400 volts or so. 7.2 megawatts divided by 400 volts gives us 18,000 amperes.&nbsp;<strong>Per car<\/strong>. The typical US house has a 90 amp service, coming in on large overhead or underground cables. I\u2019m sure you can see the problem \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To deliver 18,000 amps&nbsp;<strong>per car<\/strong>, you need connectors that look more like fire hoses than anything you\u2019ve seen at a gas station. These electrical cables must be actively cooled, or they\u2019ll turn into modern art. Cables are rated by their \u201campacity\u201d, which is how many amps of electricity they can carry safely without overheating. According to the NEC ampacity charts, the largest standard copper wire size, 2000 kcmil, has an ampacity of only 750 amps at 90\u00b0C, and we need an ampacity of 18,000 amps. (A \u201ccmil\u201d is a circular mil, which is the area of a circle 1\/1000 of an inch in diameter. A \u201ckcmil\u201d is a thousand cmils. And no, I don\u2019t know how many cmils there are in a bushel \u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 2000 kcmil cable is about an inch and a half (3.8 cm) in diameter. Here\u2019s a single 2000 kcmil underground direct-burial cable \u2026 and you\u2019d need 24 of them to handle 18,000 amps.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"433\" height=\"501\" data-attachment-id=\"387174\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=387174\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-132.png?fit=433%2C501&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"433,501\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-132.png?fit=433%2C501&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-132.png?resize=433%2C501&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-387174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-132.png?w=433&amp;ssl=1 433w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-132.png?resize=259%2C300&amp;ssl=1 259w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is that if you put more amperes of electricity through the cable and exceed the cable\u2019s ampacity, it melts. Which is why you\u2019d need a serious cooling system for charging cables if they are to be of a useable size \u2026 and if the cooling fails, you don\u2019t want to be anywhere near the cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if a few hundred cars plug in at once without a buffer? Say hello to an instant blackout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The battery companies don\u2019t care. Their job is chemistry. The rest is \u201csomeone else\u2019s problem\u201d\u2014which is to say, yours. Or your city\u2019s. Or your utility\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who\u2019s going to pay for the grid upgrades, the transformers, the buffer batteries, the land, the cooling systems, the huge connectors, the maintenance, the insurance? If you don\u2019t own an electric car, are you ready to pay for your neighbor\u2019s five-minute charge via higher taxes or utility rates? And if you do own an EV, are you prepared to shell out $500\u2013600 per charge just to cover the infrastructure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the bottom line: rapid charging is a lab dream, not a real-world solution for EVs. Technically, it absolutely works. Practically, fuggetaboudit. For most people, charging will still be a 30\u201390 minute affair\u2014if not longer. Maybe that\u2019s why Toyota, BMW, and Mercedes are quietly tiptoeing back to hydrogen, hybrids, and expensive e-fuels made from hydrogen plus CO2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The electric car revolution is here, but the real revolution that\u2019s needed isn\u2019t in the battery\u2014it\u2019s in the ground, in the cables, in the substations, in the cable cooling systems, in the grid, in the generators, in the transformers, and in the cold, hard economics of power delivery. So before you run out and buy that car with \u201cfive-minute charging,\u201d maybe ask yourself: Who\u2019s building the grid? Who\u2019s cooling the cables? And who, exactly, is paying for this party?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because until someone answers those questions, the only thing getting charged in five minutes is your credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My best to all, petrolheads and ampereheads alike.<br><br>w.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yeah, I know you know, and I\u2019ll tell you again anyhow:<\/strong>&nbsp;When you comment, please quote the exact words you are discussing.
