Goodbye long waits at the electric columns: With Byd it only takes five minutes to restart. The Chinese electric car giant has just shaken up the sector by presenting a technology di ultra-fast charging destined to change the rules of the game. A real Formula 1 pit stop for batteries. The new 1.000 kW Super e-Platform allows you to add 400 km of autonomy in just 5 minutes, double compared to Tesla V4 Supercharger, which stop at 500 kW.
This innovation marks a turning point for electric mobility, reducing charging times and bringing the experience closer to the classic refueling. But not only that: it also eliminates the dreaded “range anxiety”, the fear of running out of fuel before reaching your destination, making electric cars even more practical for everyday use.
Ultra-fast charging technology
new 10C Megawatt Flash Charger charging stations, developed for BYD's future electric models, operate with a voltage of 1.000 V and are able to provide a 1 MW peak power (1.000 kW). During tests conducted on the Han L and Tang L models, these stations reached maximum power in just 10 seconds, charging the vehicles from 7% to 50% in just 4,5 minutes.
The basis of this technological advancement is the adoption of a power module silicon carbide from 1.500 V, which guarantees ahigher energy conversion efficiency and increased capacity to support electric motors with power outputs of up to 580 kW. The power-to-weight ratio of 16,4 kW/kg enables high performance, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in about 2 seconds and top speeds of over 300 km/h, as demonstrated by the Han L EV model.
Over 4 New Charging Stations in China
wang chuanfu, president and CEO of BYD, then announced an ambitious expansion plan which provides for the Construction of over 4.000 megawatt charging stations across China. The project will not only support the automaker's growing demand for electric vehicles, but will further strengthen the BYD's role as a leader in the industry. “The definitive solution is make charging fast how much the refueling a petrol car“, Chuanfu said.
A direct challenge to Tesla and Mercedes
With this innovation, BYD aims to consolidate their position di market leader of electric mobility, directly challenging giants such as Tesla and Mercedes-Benz. For comparison, the Tesla V4 Supercharger offer a maximum power of 500 kW, allowing you to recharge approximately 270 km in 15 minutes, while Mercedes-Benz recently announced that the electric Cla model will be able to charge up to 325 km in 10 minutes. BYD's technology is therefore a negg point of reference in the sector, with performance almost double that of the competition.
BYD soars on the stock market
Pre-orders for the new models featuring this technology have already started, with first deliveries expected next month. The announcement was met with a immediate impact on the financial markets: the shares of the Chinese company, listed in Hong Kong, recorded a jump of more than 6%, reaching their all-time high.
The Race to Electric in China
Byd is experiencing a extraordinary growth phase. As of February 2025, the company has sold over 322 thousand electric vehicles, marking a del% increase 164 compared to the same month in 2024. This result allowed the Shenzhen car manufacturer to consolidate its leadership in the Chinese market, where he reached a share of 32% of overall sales of new energy vehicles (NEVs). A market where its American rival, Tesla, recorded a sales decline of 19%, slipping to fourth place behind BYD, Geely and SGMW.
La race for electric mobility it's getting tighter and tighter, and BYD seems to have its foot firmly on the accelerator.
