EV makers help to supercharge Hong Kong
Sparks of optimism about Hong Kong's electric vehicle (EV) market have been flying amid developments that have less to do with the cars than the systems for charging them. Advertisement The city must plug into ways to develop charger and battery technology if it hopes to realise its plans for a strong green transport sector and build a reputation as an EV testing hub. The biggest jolt was supplied by mainland Chinese carmaker BYD, the world's largest producer of hybrid and pure EVs. On March 18, the Shenzhen-headquartered company unveiled a system that only needs about five minutes to charge cars with their new batteries enough to give such vehicles a range of 400km. The BYD Super e-Platform runs at 1 megawatt peak power, about twice as fast as US carmaker Tesla's superchargers. The platform aims to eliminate 'charging anxiety' that has kept many internal-combustion car owners from swapping out for EVs. Advertisement BYD's shares in Hong Kong jumped more than 6 per cent following the announcement.

BYD Unveils Super e-Platform with Megawatt Flash Charging for Electric Vehicles, Matching Refueling Speeds
Publish date : Tuesday - pm 02:26 | 2025-03-18 Alanbatnews - l BYD Super e-Platform: a full-domain 1000V high-voltage architecture l BYD Flash Charging Battery: a charging current of 1000A and a charging rate of 10C, fastest in the world l BYD Megawatt Flash Charging: charge 1 second for 2 kilometers l BYD Han L and Tang L Starts Officially Pre-sales in China On March 17, 2025, BYD launched the Super e-Platform, featuring flash-charging batteries, a 30,000 RPM motor, and new silicon carbide (SiC) power chips. The platform upgrades the core electric components, achieving a charging power of 1 megawatt (1000 kW) and a peak charging speed of 2 kilometers per second, making it the fastest for mass-produced vehicles - 5 minutes of charging for 400 kilometers of range. The Super e-Platform also delivers a single-module single-motor power of 580 kW and a top speed over 300 km/h. ItwillfirstbeavailableontheHanLandTangL,whicharenowopenforpre-order in China. Despite advancements in EV technology, "charging anxiety" is still a major concern. Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD, candidly stated at the launch event, "The ultimate solution is to make charging as quick as refueling a gasoline car." Megawatt Flash Charging, Matching Refueling Speeds To achieve this, ultra-high voltage and current are necessary. The newly launched Super e-Platform is the world's first mass-produced "full-domain 1000V high-voltage architecture" for passenger vehicle. It brings the battery, motor, power supply, air conditioning, and other components up to 1000V.
