BYD Flash Charging — This Changes Everything! - CleanTechnica

The article highlights BYD’s breakthrough in electric vehicle (EV) fast charging technology, centered on its new "Super E-platform" featuring 1,000-volt architecture and advanced Blade batteries capable of a 10C charging rate—the highest among mass-produced traction batteries globally. This platform enables peak charging power of up to 1000 kW, allowing vehicles like the Han L EV and Tang L EV to gain approximately 400 km (249 miles) of range in just five minutes, although these figures are based on China’s optimistic CLTC testing standard, which tends to overestimate range compared to U.S. EPA ratings. BYD’s flash charging technology aims to address EV drivers’ charging anxiety by reducing charging times to be comparable to refueling petrol vehicles. Unlike many competitors, BYD’s megawatt-capable fast chargers are already in production and use, with plans to deploy 200 to 300 flash charging stations across Europe and South Africa by mid-2026, primarily supporting its
