HUAWEI (EV)

the Chinese technology giant, had announced plans to enter the automotive industry by developing smart electric vehicles (EVs). Here is a brief overview of Huawei's involvement in the automotive industry.

In response to consumers’ range and recharging anxieties about electric vehicle, Huawei and SERES have created a new electric drive range extension system. Equipped with HUAWEI DriveONE Three-in-One Electric Drive, the system is not only the optimal solution for reducing range anxiety, but also delivering world-class coupe performance. The new SERES SF5 offers flexibility for users, with a range of 180 km in pure electric mode to meet the needs of daily city commuters,¹ and a range of over 1000 km in extended range

This isn't exactly Huawei's first foray into EVs. The company collaborated with automaker Seres to create the Aito brand (which Huawei now fully owns) in 2021. Aito's first all-electric model, the M5, arrived last year. Aito will start deliveries of its M9, a luxury electric SUV, in China in December. Huawei has also been supplying other automakers with its Huawei HI intelligent automotive solution that includes a 4D imaging radar and an autonomous driving platform.
