# Ultra-Fast Charging Models BYD Launches a New Charger That Will Speed Up Vehicle Charging By Kanesa D | Published 2025-03-18 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byd References: [theverge](https://www.theverge.com/news/631552/byd-1000kw-charging-ev-han-l-tang-l-battery) & [byd](https://www.byd.com/eu)  Chinese electric vehicle giant [BYD](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yangwang-u7) has unveiled [fast-charging technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fastcharging-ev-stations) that can deliver 400km (249 miles) of range in just five minutes. Dubbed the 'Super e-Platform,' this next-gen charging system boasts a peak speed of 1,000kW—twice as fast as [Tesla’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qilin) upcoming V4 Superchargers. This cutting-edge charging capability is making its debut in two of BYD’s latest models: the Han L sedan and the Tang L SUV. Both vehicles start at 270,000 yuan and mark the first wave of BYD’s push toward ultra-fast, high-efficiency EV charging. “In order to completely solve our users’ charging anxiety, we have been pursuing a goal to make the charging time of electric vehicles as short as the refuelling time of petrol vehicles,” BYD founder Wang Chuanfu said from a Shenzhen launch event. “This is the first time in the industry that the unit of megawatt has been achieved on charging power.” Image Credit: BYD ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 37% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ultra-fast EV Charging:** The introduction of ultra-fast charging technology by BYD represents a leap towards reducing EV charging times to match those of refueling petrol vehicles. - **Megawatt-powered Chargers:** Charging systems with megawatt capabilities are redefining the conventional expectations of electric vehicle infrastructure and capacity. - **High-efficiency Charging Platforms:** Advanced platforms like BYD's 'Super e-Platform' spotlight the evolution in EV charging systems aimed at delivering maximum efficiency and speed. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Electric Vehicle Manufacturing:** The electric vehicle sector is caught in a race to integrate the fastest possible charging solutions into their upcoming models. - **Renewable Energy Solutions:** Innovations in charging technology are driving the renewable energy industry toward more efficient and sustainable infrastructure. - **Automotive Technology Development:** The push towards ultra-fast charging is prompting advancements in automotive technologies that support high power throughput. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hyper-Speed Charging Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyobolt-concept-ev.md) - [Fast-Charging EV Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/10-minute-charge-electric.md) - [Automotive Battery Breakthroughs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catl-c-battery.md) - [12-Minute EV Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allinone-aio-dc-fast-charger.md) - [Quick-Charge EV Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ev-battery.md) - [Ultra-Fast EV Charging Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrafast-charging-systems.md) - [Country-Wide EV Charging Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futurefactory.md) - [Fast-Charging Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gv70.md) - [Hyper-Fast Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charging-station-1.md)
