BYD Unveils Revolutionary Fast-Charging Battery System for Electric Vehicles
The Chinese automotive manufacturer claims its new battery technology can recharge vehicles in five minutes, providing a range of 470 kilometers.
Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD has introduced a new battery system that claims to fully charge electric cars in just five minutes.
This announcement was made during a launch event held in Shenzhen, where BYD's President and Founder Wang Chuanfu outlined the capabilities of the innovative platform.
According to the company, a five-minute charge would provide an electric vehicle with a range of 470 kilometers.
In addition to rapid charging, BYD asserts that the new battery technology enables electric cars to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in two seconds.
Automotive analyst Lei Xing commented that BYD’s latest development raises the bar within the industry, suggesting that this new battery system could become the foundation for many future electric vehicles.
For comparison, Tesla’s Supercharger technology currently allows for about 275 kilometers of range with a 15-minute charge.
BYD has had a robust start to 2025, having sold more than 318,000 passenger vehicles in February alone, reflecting a 161% increase compared to the same month last year.
The company's stock has seen significant gains, climbing approximately 45% on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this year.
