BYD Unveils Super e-Platform with Megawatt Flash Charging for Electric Vehicles, Matching Refueling Speeds
l BYD Super e-Platform: a full-domain 1000V high-voltage architecture
l BYD Flash Charging Battery: a charging current of 1000A and a charging rate of 10C, fastest in the world
l BYD Megawatt Flash Charging: charge 1 second for 2 kilometers
l BYD Han L and Tang L Starts Officially Pre-sales in China
On March 17, 2025, BYD launched the Super e-Platform, featuring flash-charging batteries, a 30,000 RPM motor, and new silicon carbide (SiC) power chips. The platform upgrades the core electric components, achieving a charging power of 1 megawatt (1000 kW) and a peak charging speed of 2 kilometers per second, making it the fastest for mass-produced vehicles - 5 minutes of charging for 400 kilometers of range. The Super e-Platform also delivers a single-module single-motor power of 580 kW and a top speed over 300 km/h. ItwillfirstbeavailableontheHanLandTangL,whicharenowopenforpre-order in China.
Despite advancements in EV technology, "charging anxiety" is still a major concern. Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD, candidly stated at the launch event, "The ultimate solution is to make charging as quick as refueling a gasoline car."
Megawatt Flash Charging, Matching Refueling Speeds
To achieve this, ultra-high voltage and current are necessary. The newly launched Super e-Platform is the world's first mass-produced "full-domain 1000V high-voltage architecture" for passenger vehicle. It brings the battery, motor, power supply, air conditioning, and other components up to 1000V.

Megawatt Flash Charging Terminal: Completing the Megawatt Flash Charging Ecosystem
The Megawatt Flash Charging also demands higher standards for charging stations. Lian Yubo, Executive Vice President of BYD and President of the Automotive Engineering Research Institute, stated: "BYD has self-developed the world's first all-liquid-cooled Megawatt Flash Charging terminal system, with a maximum output capacity of up to 1360kW. In the future, we plan to build over 4,000 'Megawatt Flash Charging stations' in China. Additionally, BYD's unique 'dual-gun charging' technology can instantly transform existing supercharging piles into flash charging ones and fast charging piles into supercharging ones. Our world-first 'intelligent voltage boost' charging technology is fully compatible with public fast charging piles, ensuring users can charge at any station."
