Cars constructed using this platform will gain an additional 249 miles of range within merely five minutes, signaling a significant shift for electric vehicles.

• BYD introduces the Super e-Platform, which will support the development of the planet’s quickest-recharging electric vehicles set for release by the end of the year.
• Thanks to a 1,000-volt electrical system, it supports charging rates of up to 1,000 kilowatts (one megawatt).
• EVs constructed using this platform can gain an additional 249 miles of range within 5 minutes.

In China, rather than Europe or North America, we're seeing the development of ultra-fast charging and cutting-edge electric vehicles. With its latest innovation, BYD’s new Super e-Platform reinforces this lead even more. Following their announcement of EVs capable of charging at rates of up to 500 kilowatts, BYD claims that their newest technology supports charging speeds as high as 1,000 kW, enabling an addition of about 2 kilometers (or roughly 1.2 miles) of range every single second.

According to the company's website And according to news reports, the Super e-Platform operates at 1,000 volts, surpassing even the maximum voltage levels found in today’s electric vehicles. These typically reach their peak at around 800 volts or 900 volts in Lucid vehicles And it's these vehicles that offer the highest charging capacity as well.

BYD’s latest platform can handle up to 1,000 amps of current, enabling an addition of 249 miles (400 kilometers) of range within just five minutes. This process is nearly as fast as refueling a conventional car, addressing one of the major disadvantages of electric vehicles—the lengthy waiting times required to achieve significant charge levels.

High-capacity charging stations are necessary to reach peak charging efficiency; however, BYD has declared intentions to construct approximately 4,000 such facilities across China. The company did not specify when construction will commence nor provide an estimated timeline for finishing this proposed 1,000 kW infrastructure project.

These advanced high-power EV charging stations cannot be installed just anywhere like conventional ones; they necessitate significant electrical capacity to function at maximum efficiency. This might mean needing closer connections to high-voltage power lines, confining their placement to sites equipped with strong grid systems.

In China, customers can now reserve the BYD Han L for $37,350 and the Tang L for $38,700. These models utilize a cutting-edge platform enabling quicker charging speeds compared to any electric vehicle globally. Additionally, they feature advanced high-output motors capable of spinning beyond 30,000 revolutions per minute, delivering peak performance with up to 777 horsepower from a singular engine—this represents the highest such rating worldwide. This impressive capability is achieved via state-of-the-art silicon carbide power modules integrated into their design.

Vehicles equipped with a single motor for rear-wheel drive, constructed using the new platform, will produce 671 horsepower. Meanwhile, those fitted with twin motors will couple this high-performance engine with a less powerful 308-horsepower unit responsible for powering the front wheels, resulting in an overall power output of 1,084 horsepower.

This allows the Han L sedan and Tang L SUV to accelerate from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in merely 2.7 and 3.6 seconds, respectively, achieving top speeds of up to 190 mph and 170 mph.

The introduction of the Super e-Platform seems poised to be a pivotal moment for the electric vehicle sector, making the process of charging an EV as effortless as filling up a gasoline-powered car. BYD must fulfill its commitment to establish a widespread network of one-megawatt charging stations, enabling users to truly enjoy the advantages.

Clearly, BYD aims to establish itself not just as a frontrunner in electric vehicle sales but also as a trailblazer in technology. It is tackling one of the primary worries of potential purchasers.

Bloomberg observes that the introduction of the new platform is already positively impacting the company's stock prices, causing them to rise by 6%.
