- Peak Power Delivery: The Super e Platform achieves an astonishing 1,000 kW of power thanks to:
- Advanced silicon carbide power chips
- A single-module motor reaching 30,000 rpm
- A three-core electrical system overhaul
This power output surpasses even the latest Tesla Supercharger, effectively doubling its capabilities.
However, not all vehicles can take advantage of this rapid charging. To support these speeds, vehicles will require:
- 1,000V architecture
- Batteries, motors, and thermal management systems capable of handling the high charge rates
BYD has upgraded its Han L and Tang L EV models with:
- A new battery designed to reduce internal resistance by 50%.
- An ultra-high-speed ion channel that enhances efficiency.
This reduction in internal resistance translates to faster charging, making the five-minute recharge a tangible possibility.
Chuanfu Wang, BYD Group chief, stated, “Our goal is to make the charging time of electric vehicles as short as the refueling time of ICE vehicles.”
While achieving this ambition requires significant energy from the grid, BYD's advancements could redefine electric vehicle charging as we know it.
BYD’s groundbreaking charging technology represents a significant leap in EV capabilities, potentially eliminating charging anxiety. The future of electric vehicle refueling may soon rival traditional gas station visits in terms of speed and convenience.
