BYD has once again pushed the boundaries of electric vehicle (EV) technology with the launch of its groundbreaking "Super e-Platform", integrating cutting-edge innovations such as all-domain kilovolt high-voltage architecture, flash-charging batteries, megawatt-level fast-charging systems, and mass-produced 30,000 RPM motors.
Shenzhen, China – BYD has once again pushed the boundaries of electric vehicle (EV) technology with the launch of its groundbreaking "Super e-Platform", integrating cutting-edge innovations such as all-domain kilovolt high-voltage architecture, flash-charging batteries, megawatt-level fast-charging systems, and mass-produced 30,000 RPM motors.
At the unveiling event, BYD Chairman and President Wang Chuanfu highlighted the company's relentless pursuit of innovation, following recent breakthroughs like the "Eye of God" intelligent driving system and the "Ling Yuan" smart in-car drone system. "Today, our Super e-Platform will redefine the ultimate EV experience," Wang declared.
The Super e-Platform achieves unprecedented charging speeds, supporting up to 1 megawatt (1,000 kW) of charging power—the fastest in mass-produced EVs globally. Key performance highlights include:
5-minute charge for 400km range (flash-charging capability)
Peak charging speed: 1 second = 2km
Single motor power output: 580kW
Top speed exceeding 300 km/h
Despite advancements, charging time remains a critical bottleneck for EV adoption. A Beijing ride-hailing driver shared his frustration: "A 40-minute fast charge (30%-80%) costs me two potential trips—equivalent to losing ¥80 daily."
While current 800V high-voltage platforms reduce charging time to 30 minutes (10%-80%), it still pales next to 5-minute gas refueling. Holiday highway queues and aging grid infrastructure further compound the problem.
Wang Chuanfu’s vision? "Oil-electric parity"—matching EV charging times to gas refueling.
10 years ago, BYD pioneered 800V architecture; now, it's 1,000V + 1,000A for ultra-fast charging.
10-second charge = 20km range; 5 minutes = 400km (outperforming Tesla V4's 500kW and XPeng S4's 480kW).
BYD's 1,000V platform will debut in Han and Tang series—bringing ultra-fast charging to ¥200,000-range EVs, a segment previously dominated by premium brands like Yangwang and Denza.
Strategic infrastructure rollout:
4,000+ megawatt fast-charging stations nationwide.
Open-sharing model: Licensing tech to accelerate industry adoption.
Smart voltage-boosting tech: Doubles charging power (250kW → 500kW) on existing chargers without hardware upgrades.
Industry analysts predict BYD's Super e-Platform will accelerate the demise of gas-powered cars while reshaping the entire EV ecosystem:
Consumer Shift: Reduced charging anxiety = faster EV adoption.
Market Disruption: Combustion-engine advantages (refueling speed, range) neutralized.
Supply Chain Revolution: Surging demand for lithium/cobalt, advanced battery recycling.
New Business Models: "Supercharging lifestyle hubs," battery insurance, data-driven services (potential ¥100B+ market).
"Ultra-fast charging may be the final nail in the coffin for the gasoline era," said auto analyst Wang Kun.
