New Technology From BYD Promises Electric Car Recharge In Time Similar To Regular Fueling And Will Be Demonstrated At The Factory In Bahia
The Chinese manufacturer BYD confirmed that Brazil will be the first country in the Americas to receive its new ultra-fast charging technology for electric vehicles. Unveiled internationally in March, the system is part of the Super e-Platform and promises to deliver 400 km of range in just 5 minutes of charging.
According to the automaker, the idea is to recharge an electric car as quickly as refueling a gasoline vehicle.
To achieve this, the system offers power of 1 megawatt (or 1,000 kW) and a maximum speed of 2 km per second, which makes the process, according to the company, at least three times faster than Tesla’s Supercharger.

With installments starting at R$ 790 per month, a 1.0 engine with 84 hp on ethanol, torque vectoring, and standard hill start assist, the VW Polo Track becomes Volkswagen’s cheapest entry point in 2026 and still delivers safety features that many competitors only offer in their more expensive versions.

Bigger, more powerful, and R$ 25,000 cheaper than a Toyota Corolla, this Honda sedan delivers 255 hp, a 10-speed automatic transmission, a 574-liter trunk, and interior space worthy of premium cars for around R$ 150,000.

Fiat offers a R$ 19,000 discount on the Toro, making the pickup cheaper than the turbo versions of the Strada.
Still without an exact date to start operating in the country, the news will be installed at the brand’s factory in Camaçari, Bahia.
BYD highlighted that the charger in Brazil will be used as a demonstration of the technology. In other words, it will not be available to the public.
The high-voltage architecture of the Super e-Platform is at the center of the advancement. It is the first in the world to operate with 1,000 volts in mass-produced passenger cars.
It debuted in the new Han and Tan models, which feature 580 kW motors, a maximum speed of 305 km/h, and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds.
To handle the new level of power, the vehicles received reinforcements in various systems. This includes battery, motor, power supply, air conditioning, and other essential components.
Additionally, the company has begun using silicon carbide (SiC) power chips. These are the first of their kind in mass-produced models.
Another important element of the project is the Megawatt Flash Charger, created by BYD itself. The charger is compatible with 1,000 V electric vehicles and also operates at a power of 1,000 kW.
It features a liquid cooling system, the first of its kind in the world, that allows reaching the 400 km mark in just 5 minutes.
In China, the brand plans to install more than four thousand chargers like this in various regions of the country. As for Brazil, at least for now, the structure will be restricted to the company’s unit in Bahia.

Byd produção caro em bahia y aí ah pecimo infraestrutura te carecador caro elétrica!👎
A empresa vai disponibilizar os carregadores nas cidades e estradas?
A rede elétrica comum comporta esse carregador?
Na verdade esses recarregadores são DC. Tem baterias internas recarregadas continuamente pela rede elétrica. Quando chega um carro ele descarrega os 1000kw a 1000v mas é DC. Depois precisam de um tempo um intervalo pra recarregarem novamente. Não dá pra recarregar um carro atrás do outro… Porém eu imagino nas estradas ele sendo recarregado por energia solar que também é DC e pode recarregar essas baterias rapidamente dependendo do sol… Já a noite vai depender da rede elétrica mesmo..
