Huawei has previously stated explicitly that it will not make its own cars, but it is still engaged in the field of new energy vehicles and has developed many automotive technology patents. According to Qichacha, a Chinese business information platform, Huawei’s patent for V2X-based vehicle payment method and equipment was published on August 16, with public number “CN114912913A.” This patent can facilitate the completion of vehicle payment.
