Build Your Dreams (BYD)<\/a> is gearing up for what has the makings of an epic launch event this coming Monday. The Chinese automaker announced several incoming debuts coming early next week, including a new \u201cBYD Super e-Platform,\u201d described as a \u201cnew benchmark in electric.\u201d What\u2019s most interesting, however, is that BYD is teasing a new ultra-fast EV charger with up to 1,000 kW of power \u2013 that\u2019s twice as powerful as the current best on the market.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Automotive conglomerate BYD is at it again, continuously showcasing its innovation and market expansion as a clear force that will not be ignored <\/a>by the global automotive segment. In addition to several EV marques, including its new ultra-performance Yangwang brand, BYD develops and implements EV battery technology and EV charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, BYD shared that Yangwang will be launching its new U7 sedan <\/a>at an event held at the former\u2019s headquarters in Shenzen, China, later this month. Before then, however, BYD is preparing for a launch event for its own namesake as early as this Monday at HQ.<\/p>\n

According to a Weibo post from earlier today, BYD\u2019s launch event on the 17th promises the debut of a new high-performance EV platform, the start of pre-sales of two new models, and an unveiling of new EV charger technology capable of up to 1,000 kW. Eat your heart out, Tesla. You, too, Electrify America.<\/p>\n

BYD to unveil 1,000 kW fast charging tech on 3\/17<\/h2>\n

According to the Weibo Post from BYD, its next launch event will take place this coming Monday, March 17 at 7 PM Beijing time (7 AM EDT). The post was translated to English, but essentially promises the debut of its new \u201cBYD Super e-Platform,\u201d which will reinvent pure electric technology.<\/p>\n

As reported by CnEVPost<\/em>, an invitation to the event elaborated on the capabilities of the Super e-Platform, stating it will \u201cuse disruptive technology to completely solve the biggest headache in EV use.\u201d That\u2019s assumedly the charging process and how long even the fastest chargers still take in comparison to a gas station visit.<\/p>\n

On that note, the BYD event also includes the debut of a new 1,000 kW EV fast charger. Per the post seen above: <\/p>\n

1,000-kW flash charging that allows refueling and charging to have the same speed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A 1,000 kW BYD fast charger would be a marvel and a potential game changer for EV adoption, doubling the power of current industry leaders like Tesla. The American automaker began rolling out its V4 Superchargers in North America in 2023, which are currently capable of 325 kW. However, Tesla has shared plans to boost those capabilities with 500 kW cabinets this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even so, BYD is on the cusp of introducing EV charging capabilities that are double that prospective target, and it already has the technology out in the wild. CnEVPost<\/em> also shared reports from several auto bloggers<\/a> in China that captured images of what seems to be the new BYD charger, relaying that specifications listed on the pile support up to 1,000 volts and power of up to 1,000 kW.<\/p>\n

BYD also intends to open pre-sales of its Han L and Tang L EVs at the same event. Because of this, there is speculation that both models will sit atop BYD\u2019s Super e-Platform and support charging power of up to 1,000 kW. <\/p>\n

We won\u2019t know for sure until Monday, but this sounds like it will be an exciting one from BYD. Circle back to Electrek <\/em>on Monday for a full recap.<\/p>\n
