Overview
- BYD's 'Super E-Platform' enables charging speeds of up to 400km (249 miles) in just five minutes, rivaling gasoline refueling times.
- The technology was demonstrated on the Han L sedan, achieving 470km (292 miles) of range in five minutes during tests.
- BYD plans to integrate this platform into its Han L sedan and Tang L SUV, launching in April 2025, and establish over 4,000 ultra-fast charging stations in China.
- The innovation positions BYD as a leader in China's EV market, where it holds a 15% market share, and challenges competitors like Tesla with faster charging speeds.
- Despite its global potential, BYD's vehicles remain unavailable in the U.S. due to trade tensions and national security concerns.
