Touring BYD’s HQ and Realizing the Technology Arsenal It Has (Part 2) - CleanTechnica

The article provides an in-depth look at BYD’s latest advancements in electric vehicle (EV) technology, focusing on its efforts to overcome two major barriers to EV adoption: charging speed and range anxiety. Central to this is BYD’s Megawatt (MW) Flash Charging system, which leverages the company’s proprietary Super e-Platform. This platform features a Full-Domain 1000V Architecture, enabling the entire vehicle’s high-voltage system to operate at 1000 volts—surpassing the industry standard of 800 volts. The system delivers up to 1 MW of charging power through ultra-high voltage and currents up to 1,000 amps, allowing the Blade Battery cells to charge at an extreme 10C rate. Practically, this means adding approximately 400 kilometers of range in just five minutes, significantly reducing charging time to near gas station refueling speeds. BYD also developed next-generation silicon carbide (SiC) chips to manage this power efficiently, minimizing energy losses
