BYD launches new Super e-Platform, an advanced architecture of ultra-fast charging, allowing the vehicles to gain 2 km of range per second and 400 km in 5 minutes.
The new platform is debuting with the BYD Han L and BYD Tang L. At the core of BYD’s Super e-Platform is a 1,000V high-voltage system, built around the latest evolution of its Blade battery with lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) chemistry. “The company aims to make EV charging as fast as refueling a gasoline car, leveraging extreme voltage and current levels to drastically cut down charging times”, explained BYD. Although BYD has not disclosed the exact battery capacity, it has confirmed that a full charge can be completed in just 6 minutes.
During internal testing, the battery maintained high charging power levels throughout the process, reaching 600 kW even at 90% charge. To support this breakthrough, BYD has also developed a 1,000 kW supercharger, which is twice the peak power of Tesla’s latest Superchargers. The company plans to install 4,000 fast-charging stations across China, reinforcing the infrastructure needed for widespread adoption of this technology.
A New High-Performance Electric Motor
“The Super e-Platform isn’t just about charging—it also introduces BYD’s most powerful electric motor to date”. Mounted at the rear, this high-speed unit spins at over 30,000 rpm, delivering 788 hp. When combined with a 312 hp front motor, the system generates a staggering 1,100 hp total output.
What are the result? Byd tells that there is a blistering acceleration: BYD Han L (sedan) achieves 0-100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds and reaches a 305 km/h top speed, and BYD Tang L (SUV) accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, with a 286 km/h top speed.
