BYD, on Tuesday at a launch event in Shenzhen, revealed the Super e-Platform, which the company claims can charge at rates of up to 1,000 kw —enough to add 400 kilometers of range, or nearly 250 miles, in five minutes of charging. This estimate is likely based on the CLTC test cycle used in China, a more lenient cycle than what the EPA uses.

BYD shares surge over 6% in Hong Kong after announcing new “Super E-Platform” capable of 1,000-kilowatt charging, providing 400 kilometers of range in five min.
