BYD CHARGING IS NOW INSANE! 1,000KW DCFC PERFORMANCE DEMONSTRATION

EV Channels Review

BYD has unveiled a groundbreaking 1000V, 1000A EV platform, dubbed the 'Super E' platform, set to debut in the next generation of their Han and Tang models. This technology promises charging speeds that rival or even surpass gasoline refueling times, with a claimed 10-60% charge in just 4.5 minutes. The demonstration showcased a remarkable 10-second charge adding 12 miles of range, and sustained 1MW charging for a significant period. The accompanying Ultra Fast DCFC stations, capable of 1,360kW, further underscore BYD's aggressive push into high-performance charging infrastructure. While the technology is impressive, questions remain regarding long-term battery degradation due to the extreme heat generated by 1000A current. The reviewer highlights that BYD, often seen as a legacy automaker, is rapidly innovating, potentially leapfrogging competitors and significantly advancing the EV charging landscape, especially when compared to the current state of charging infrastructure in the United States.
