BYD's Revolutionary EV Platform Promises 5-Minute Flash Charges
BYD has unveiled a revolutionary electric vehicle (EV) platform, the Super e-Platform, designed to match the refuelling speeds of combustion-engined vehicles. The platform introduces the Flash Charging Battery, promising ultra-fast charging and a significant boost in range.
The Super e-Platform boasts an impressive maximum charging current of 1000A and a charging rate of 10C, thanks to its ultra-fast ion channel. This technology allows for a 'flash charge' of just five minutes, adding two kilometres of range per second, and providing a total of 400km of driving range.
BYD aims to eliminate 'charging anxiety' by making EV charging as convenient and quick as refuelling a gasoline car. The platform features a single power-motor output of 580kW, delivering a top speed of over 300km/h in its initial models.
To support this rapid charging, BYD has developed a full liquid-cooled megawatt flash-charging terminal system with a maximum output of 1360kW. The platform achieves a charging power of one megawatt (1000kW), the highest peak charging speed for mass-production EVs. BYD has also developed and mass-produced a new generation of automotive-grade silicon carbide (SiC) power chip with a voltage rating of up to 1500V.
BYD plans to build over 4000 megawatt flash-charging stations across China and has developed 'dual-gun charging' technology for compatibility with public charging stations. The Super e-Platform uses an 'all-domain kilovolt high-voltage architecture' for ultra-high voltage and high current charging. While the manufacturers of the necessary ultra-high-power charging stations are not explicitly mentioned, the platform supports voltages up to 1500 V, implying the need for specialized charging station infrastructure.
BYD's Super e-Platform, with its Flash Charging Battery and ultra-fast charging speeds, is poised to revolutionize the EV market. With plans to build extensive charging infrastructure and compatibility with public charging stations, BYD is making electric vehicles more accessible and convenient than ever before.
