The Chinese car manufacturer BYD has unveiled a new charging platform for electric vehicles, based on a unique 1000-volt architecture. This innovation promises a charging speed comparable to filling up with gas, delivering 400 km of range in just five minutes.
This 1000-volt architecture offers faster energy transfer while reducing energy loss, making existing fast-charging systems obsolete. With this technology, BYD expects to deliver 400 km of range in five minutes of charging. The idea is to be able to charge up an electric car as quickly – or almost as quickly – as refueling a combustion engine vehicle.
