How BYD plans to make EV charging as fast as filling a gas tank

Chinese Auto Maker BYD made the waves when the new Han L sedan this week.

Unfortunately, the company illuminated the details and did not meet the requirement of TechCrunch’s clarification. Therefore, we pulled the Internet to clearly correct a home that could make a house that can make a house that can make a home that can make a house that can quickly fill a gas car as soon as necessary.

Our found, automatic manufacturers supports allegations, several warning.

Battery package

Central Han L’in fast charging is an internal electrical infrastructure. It starts with battery, it according to CARNEWSCHINA is a package of 83.2 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP), which provides reference to regulatory documents. (It seems that the company is rounded and listed in 1,000 volts).

Battery chemistry is probably the center for the fast-charging capacity of the car. LFP batteries have long been designed for stability and safety; Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) does not open fire as soon as other species. A LFP cell can charge faster due to some electrochemical wells inherent in the cathode-anode design. (There is great sliding From the National Renewable Energy Laboratory that describes more information.)

From above, BYD works with LFP for years and will debut the latest battery architecture known as a knife 2.0. This practice is likely that the company’s engineers felt well how much they push both batteries and electrical architecture.

Electrical system

Feeding the battery pack is a high-voltage power system that works in 945 volts. Automatics continue higher voltages because higher voltage creates less heat, allows more power to deliver more safely and efficiently. Currently, 900 volts operate in Lucid cars and use 800 volts in many people such as Hyundai Kia and Porsche. With Teslas, it depends on the vehicle: the cyberspace, while working in 400 volts, while giving or taking it, when giving or taking it, it uses an architecture of 800 volts.

Add them all and download Han L 1 Megavatt or up to 1000 kWh. Today, the fastest home charger in the United States gives only 350 kilowatt-up.

However, when working 945 volts or 1000 volts, the amount of heat generated by 1 megawatt fill is important and the cables should be incredibly thicker to support it. More slow, fast, charging cables, as added to 350 kVs chargus, also increase their arm.

Perhaps he acknowledged what was called the charging cable to further managers: The BY has called the two-day weapon approach: The car has two charging papers, which connected to 500 kVs at the same time.

They deliver 1 megawat together.

Range of range shenanigans

According to BYD, this allows you to add 248 miles (400 km) in five minutes.

Unfortunately, after drivers are so fast charging, it is unlikely to travel a lot. Because the equivalent of the Chinese EPA test period is optimistic. About 35% higher than EPA ratings, according to Into themselves, or in insideev, which are their own or optimistic, depending on the highway driving themselves, or highway.

In real, drivers are probably 280 miles away from a five-minute fee and a full battery. Compared to more apples, it is useful to look at how much time you need to load 16% to 80% (10 minutes) or 16% to 100% (24 minutes). How much tongue, this is quite fast.

Charger strategy

But the charging speed of a house is just as good as charging and how wide. For this purpose, BYD is pledged to install more than 4,000 of them throughout China. Each charger will require an important network updates for a power draw, which can strain the existing infrastructure.

When will we see this in the United States? If the price of about $ 37,000 will give a nice leap in the market, do not believe a BYD Han L get a BYD HAN L. The Chinese-made EVS is currently undergoing prices to the point where there is no competitive point, 100% tariffs.

However, it does not mean that it will remain unavailable for Americans to charge fast. Today, the cars sold can already charge from 20-80% to 80% in 18 minutes, so the automatic cars are a matter of time.
