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.
market reaction to the innovations
The SITS of BYD, which are noted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, rose by over 6 % on Tuesday and reached an all -time high.
Teslas FSD service in China
On the same day, Tesla started free test versions of his highly expected Full Self-Driving (FSD) Services in China, which are available until April 16. This step follows a disappointing software update of the company's advanced driver assistance system, which was left behind the complete FSD functions. According to reports, Tesla works with the Chinese technology giant Baidu to improve performance.
challenges for Tesla
Tesla is planning a complete introduction of the FSD in China this year. 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.
