And you're done? BYD unveils a charger that charges as fast as refuelling a petrol car.


According to wang chuanfu, the battery will be charged at 1 megawatt (1000 kilowatts) twice as fast as tesla's 500kw supercharger, which would mean that the battery will be charged, if not the battery.


Byd's battery and charger, (e) combines 1000a of current with 1000v of voltage to produce its 1-megawatt charging rate, which can be fully charged in 15 minutes.


The platform was revealed on weibo, china's first automaker to claim that its evs can charge as fast as petrol cars, with the two rv models that support "flash-charging," the han l and the tang l.


The byd flash-charging battery has 1 megawatt of charging power on the hong kong stock exchange (hkex) the next morning, up 6% from the previous day.


With the latest update, byd seems to be the second most popular strategy to democratize smart driving, making it "as common as seatbelts and airbags" in the next two to three years.
