BYD’s “Megawatt” charger gives 1 MW at 1 kV, twice the fastest US chargers, providing a “nearly full” 400 km in 5 minutes. The Super-E platform uses new electrical architecture, battery, and 1 kV charging that beats other EVs at 400 V or 800 V (Lucid is tops at 900 V). There are 400 existing MW chargers in China with plans for 4,000.
