Byd presented a new ultra -grape load technology capable of adding 400 kilometers of autonomy to electric vehicles in just five minutes. The proposal, called Super e-platformallows to supply the batteries at maximum speeds of 1 megavatio, twice the 500 kilowatts (kW) that will offer the fastest V4 supercargators of Tesla, whose launch is scheduled for this year.
Wang Chuanfu, founder of ByD, said in a statement collected by the agency Europa Press that the objective is to “completely solve the anxiety of our users to load. We have proposed that the supply time of electric vehicles is as short as that of gasoline cars. This is the first time in the industry that is reached the unit of megawatts in load power.”
The performance of Super e-platform It is based on innovations both in the architecture of batteries and on the electrical components of the cargo system. One of the key elements of the new platform is the Flash Charging Battery (Ultra -graped load battery), designed to support a maximum current of 1,000 amps and equipped with a 10C load multiplier, which means that its capacity can be charged 10 times per hour. This allows the accumulator to receive a large amount of energy in a short period and can resort more quickly.
To support these great amperage loads, ByD has developed a new generation of silicon carbide power chips (sic). This material offers advantages over conventional silicon in high -power applications, since it generates less heat and supports higher tensions. The new microprocessors of the SIC -based Chinese company can operate at a nominal voltage of up to 1,500 volts.
Initially, the new load technology will be available in the sedan and the Tang L SUV, which will be launched exclusively in the Chinese market in the coming months. To accelerate the adoption of its ultra -grape load platform, Byd has pledged to build in China More than 4,000 load stations with powers up to 1,360 kW. However, it has not specified a deadline for the execution of the project.
Byd challenges Tesla, once again
Analysts indicate that Byd’s proposal could transform the electric cars market in China and, potentially, worldwide. The ultra -grape load has become a key argument to attract buyers in a highly competitive sector. Although Tesla, the largest electric car manufacturer in terms of sales, and other Chinese companies offer fast charging systems, none equals the capacity that Byd promises.
Currently, most Tesla vehicles use a 400 volt system that allows up to 250 kW loads. Zeekr, the Premium brand of the manufacturer Geely, launched an 800 volt platform that allows 80% of a 75 kWh battery in just over 10 minutes. Companies such as Li Auto and Xpeng have also developed similar technologies, reaching more than 400 km of autonomy with 10 minutes of load.
According to the KPMG Professional Services firm, More than 50% of compact electric vehicles in circulation are recharged in users’ homeswhich represents a limitation for extensive tours. With the installation of more than 4,000 recharge stations in China, Byd seeks to address this inconvenience, eliminate its dependence on the supply infrastructure of local competitors and stop the progress of Tesla, its main global rival.
According to Reutersthe firm monopolizes more than a third of sales of electric vehicles in China. To date, its customers depend largely on the loading facilities of other manufacturers or public stations managed by external operators.
The Chinese manufacturer Nio has the most extensive load network in China, with almost 2,700 fast charging stations. Since 2014, Tesla has built more than 2,000 stations, including 11,500 supercargers until September 2024.
Byd approaches Tesla in sales volumewith 1.76 million cars sold in 2024 worldwide, barely below 1.79 million of Elon Musk’s company. 90% of BYD sales have been made in China, with leadership marked in the hybrid vehicle segment.
