BYD has unveiled data on their second-generation charging stations, which support power levels up to 1500 kW and currents up to 1500 A. This is 1.5 times more than the megawatt system of the first generation introduced in 2025. The new version is designed for a maximum voltage of 1000 V and increased power, which should simplify work with power grids and accelerate the charging of high-voltage electric vehicles.
The real peak power can reach 1360 kW, and the support for 10C+ level charging allows for a range increase of approximately 400 km (248 miles) in just 5 minutes.
It is reported that the stations will be compatible with BYD’s flagship models, including the Han and Tang. The design features a T-shaped case with two connectors, liquid-cooled cables, and smart power distribution. Notably, the energy storage capacity in a single station has doubled, allowing more than 20 vehicles to charge consecutively.
As of now, the EV industry is witnessing advancements in ultra-fast charging technologies, striving for seamless integration with power grids. Companies are keen to improve battery efficiency, focusing on cooling technologies and enhanced energy distribution systems to ensure quick and safe charging cycles. For BYD, ensuring compatibility with existing models while preparing for future electric infrastructure holds significant potential to shape user experiences and influence market competitiveness.
