5 minutes loading time for 250 miles? This Chinese e-car manufacturer promises it

The electric vehicle giant BYD presented a new charging system in China on Monday that further heats up the already intensive competition at the world's largest car market and catapults the company in front of competitors like Tesla.

Super e-platform from BYD

The automobile manufacturer based in Shenzhen praised his new system, the "Super E-Platform", which is able to charge the latest models in just five minutes and enable them to reach a range of 400 kilometers. To support this innovative technology, BYD plans to build 4,000 ultra -fast charging stations throughout China.

Comparison with Teslas Supercharger

For comparison: Tesla's supercharger takes 15 minutes for a load and offer a range of 320 kilometers. "Our goal is to make electric vehicles as quickly as the refueling of a gasoline car," said BYD chairman Wang Chuanfu at the Presentation . The pre -orders for the new BYD models, which are equipped with the latest charging technology, also began on Monday, and the deliveries should start next month.

However, strict data protection laws in the country prevented the company from using data from its 2 million electric vehicles for training, which has delayed the introduction of the feature. In 2022, Tesla's annual global deliveries fell for the first time, and the company is facing growing challenges in China, where it is behind its main competitors BYD. The new BYD charging technology clearly shows that the Chinese electrical company Tesla outsources both in terms of innovation and price.

market share changes

In January 2023, Tesla's sales in China fell by more than 19 % compared to the previous year, which the company was born in fourth place in the market behind BYD, Geely and SGMW. According to the China Passenger Car Association dominated BYD in 2024 with a market share of 32 % for sales. Tesla, on the other hand, had only 6.1 % of the market, despite a record high of deliveries.

political influences and license delays

The Financial Times reported last month, citing two non -named sources that Chinese officials consider to hold the license permit for Teslas FSD back in trade negotiations with Trump. This was the main reason for the delay in approval.
