With its new megawatt charging station, BYD is launching a groundbreaking technology that drastically reduces charging times.
Electric cars with a 1000-volt high-voltage system can be achieved thanks to this new 10C technology in just 5 minutes 400 kilometers range reload.
The fastest charging station in the world?
On March 17, BYD officially launched the 10C megawatt charging station that a maximale charging power of 1000 kilowatts (1 megawatt) These values are in the range of electric vehicles previously unmatched.
During a live test, the system was able to Access the full power of 10 megawatt in 1 secondsTwo BYD models were tested: the Han L EV and the Tang L EV. Their batteries charged from 7% to 50% in just 4,5 minutes – an impressive improvement compared to previous systems.
Why was this necessary?
BYD has often been praised for its relatively slow DC charging times of its Blade LFP batteries criticized. Although these batteries are particularly safe and durable, they are significantly slower than NMC batteries from other manufacturers.
To remain competitive, BYD had to act – and is now providing a real answer to this criticism. At the same time, the company has announced over 4000 of these high-performance charging stations in China to massively improve the charging network for electric vehicles.
Technology that impresses
The vehicles used in this Test were used, the Han L EV 4WD and the Tang L EV 4WD, have a very special technology on board. They are equipped with a 1500-volt silicon carbide power module which ensures particularly efficient energy transfer. Under the hood lies a real powerhouse:
- 580 kW Electric motor on the rear axle
- 30.000 revolutions per minute
- Even at this extreme speed, a Power of 524 kW received
- Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2 seconds
- More than 70 repetitions of this acceleration without loss of performance
- Top speed of the Han L EV: 305 km/h
Game changer for electromobility?
With these figures, BYD shows that Electric Cars In terms of performance and charging speed, they can not only keep up with combustion engines, but even surpass them. Faster charging means less waiting time and makes e-mobility more suitable for everyday use than ever before.
