"China EV and battery giant BYD has announced details around its latest EV
platform, which will deliver up to 1,000 kW of charging power to its upcoming
electric vehicle models, helping it deliver 400 km of range in just 5 minutes.

On a Weibo live stream this week, the company showcased how it will
significantly reduce charging times and will bring the EV fast-charging times
close enough to fill an ICE vehicle with petrol.

The new 1,000 V architecture with 1,000 A of charging current will be able to
add 2 km of range every second, making it the fastest charging system for
mass-market EVs today.

BYD has also said that the new architecture will form its new Super e-Platform
that will be coming to vehicles with 10C charging speeds, meaning that the
car’s battery can be charged up to 10 times every hour.

This new platform will also incorporate BYD’s latest batteries which are
engineered to handle these fast-charging speeds while on the road."
