BYD Unveils Revolutionary 5-Minute EV Charging Technology

  • BYD

BYD cars have unveiled a groundbreaking charging system capable of adding approximately 250 miles (400 kilometers) of range in just 5 minutes, revolutionising BYD car charging. This innovation positions BYD at the forefront of ultrafast charging technology, addressing common consumer concerns such as extended charging times, range anxiety, and costs.

How It Works

The new Super E-Platform features a 1,000 kilowatt (kW) charging power and advanced cooling technology, allowing for faster and more efficient battery charging. This technology underscores BYD Auto's pioneering efforts in fast charging and electric vehicle advancements. This is significantly faster than current industry standards; for example, Tesla’s superchargers provide 320 kilometers (200 miles) of range in 15 minutes. During a live stream event at the brand headquarters in Shenzhen, China, BYD said mass production of the new technology would “completely solve users’ range anxiety when travelling”. The company's focus on cutting-edge battery development highlights BYD Auto's commitment to innovation.

BYD's Cutting-Edge Charging Technology

BYD's groundbreaking charging innovations, embodied in the Super E-Platform, are poised to revolutionise the EV charging landscape. With ultrafast charging speeds, this platform drastically reduces the full charging time for BYD cars, further amplifying their appeal. Delivering the capability to add 250 miles in a mere 5 minutes, BYD's system reshapes industry norms and promises to ease range anxiety for EV drivers. The introduction of such high-power charging solutions augments the allure of BYD vehicles across both established and developing markets.

Initial Availability

BYD Auto offers an ultra fast charging solution that appeals to electric car users worldwide. BYD plans to roll out this ultrafast charging system in its HAN L and TANG L SUV models initially. To support this technology, the company will install approximately 4,000 chargers across China. This strategic move supports BYD new model offerings, enhancing the convenience and appeal of electric cars, potentially accelerating the shift away from traditional petrol and diesel-powered cars.
