No need to call a tow truck when your electric car breaks down. Huawei has revealed a new patent that solves this problem

With the advancement of technology and society's concern for the environment, the trend of electric vehicles replacing fuel vehicles is becoming more and more obvious. However, before electric vehicles become popular, issues such as vehicle range and charging pile layout need to be urgently resolved.

Unlike fuel vehicles, when an electric vehicle’s battery life is exhausted, it needs to be towed to a charging location by a trailer, which is one of the main sources of range anxiety for electric vehicle owners.

However, Huawei recently announced a new patent on electric vehicles, which is expected to solve this problem from another angle.

Huawei's patent publication number CN107867186B shows that an embodiment of the present invention provides a charging method between electric vehicles, which can realize the charging of electric vehicles.

The electric vehicle needs to be equipped with a battery pack, a DC socket, and a controller. It provides power to another electric vehicle through the DC socket and the connection of the charging and discharging cable, and controls the battery pack to charge the other electric vehicle according to the charging request of the other vehicle.

That is to say, if an electric car unfortunately breaks down on the road, the owner does not need to ask for help from an expensive towing service company, but only needs to ask another electric car owner to drive to the rescue.

It is worth noting that Huawei has applied for a number of patents related to automobiles, including automobile blind spot monitoring, powertrain technology, etc., but Huawei's main business is still in the fields of communications and digital technology. And Huawei has repeatedly stated that it "does not build cars" but "focuses on ICT technology to help car companies build better cars."
