BYD reveals ultra-fast EV battery charging system
ndtv.com —
BYD has introduced a new battery and charging system that can provide 470 kilometers of range in just five minutes. This development aims to make electric vehicle charging as quick as refueling a traditional car. The new system will be used in future BYD electric vehicles and offers faster charging than Tesla's Superchargers, which provide 275 kilometers of range in 15 minutes. BYD's platform also allows cars to accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour in two seconds. In early 2025, BYD reported a 161 percent increase in passenger vehicle sales, solidifying its position as the top carmaker in China. The company is also advancing in driver-assistance technology, making features available in more affordable models.
