BYD’s Turquois T-Shaped Second-Generation Flash Chargers Seen At Dealers Ahead Of Launch - CleanTechnica

The article discusses BYD’s new second-generation flash chargers, which have been spotted at dealerships ahead of their official launch. These chargers feature a distinctive turquoise T-shaped design that allows charging cables to extend to either side of a vehicle or even to adjacent parking spaces, enhancing flexibility and convenience. The chargers include a power cabinet and buffer battery cabinets that help manage peak loads and reduce grid impact, enabling faster and more stable charging. The design also draws parallels to traditional fuel pumps, supporting a shift toward quicker, stop-and-go charging sessions as electric vehicle (EV) charging times approach those of refueling internal combustion engine cars. BYD’s current vehicles, such as the Tang L and Han L, can add 400 km of range in just five minutes using 10 C charging, and upcoming models like the Ocean 8 Sedan and SUV are expected to support the same 1000V architecture for rapid charging. Premium BYD brands are also anticipated to adopt this architecture, with flash chargers already appearing at dealerships
