BYD Unveils EV Platform with Five-Minute Charging Capability

The new 1,000V 'Super E-Platform' charges 400km of range in five minutes, targeting a key barrier to EV adoption and debuting in April 2025 models.

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.
