BYD introduces fast EV charging network in China

BYD has introduced a new electric vehicle platform called the "super e-platform," which can charge at speeds of 1,000 kW. This allows cars to travel 249 miles after just a 5-minute charge, doubling Tesla's charging speed. The super e-platform will first be available in the Han L sedan and Tang L SUV, priced from 270,000 yuan. BYD also announced plans to build over 4,000 ultra-fast charging stations across China to support this technology. Previously, BYD owners relied on third-party charging stations. The new charging network aims to address concerns about charging times, making it as quick as refueling a gasoline vehicle.
