BYD Launches Super-E Platform with 5-Minute EV Charging Capability

The groundbreaking technology debuts in China with plans for 4,000 ultra-fast charging stations, but global scalability and battery longevity concerns persist.

BYD's Super-E platform allows electric vehicles to charge 400km of range in just 5 minutes, setting a new industry benchmark.
The Han L sedan and Tang L SUV are the first models equipped with this technology, now available in China.
The system uses BYD's Blade battery technology with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry and a 10C charging multiplier to enable rapid charging safely.
BYD plans to establish 4,000 ultra-fast charging stations across China to support the platform, though global deployment remains uncertain.
Concerns about battery longevity, grid infrastructure readiness, and environmental impacts of megawatt-level charging are yet to be fully addressed.
