The Chinese Company "Build Your Dreams (BYD)" just released into Production their new "Super e-Platform" which can charge an Electric Vehicle (EV) with a Range of up to 400 km in just five minutes. In line with this, BYD is releasing two new Models which will be using this Technology next Month of April 2025, the "Han L" and the "Tang L".
The Han L will be able to charge 400 km of Range in just five minutes while the Tang L will be able to charge 370 km of range in the same amount of time. Prices start at Cny 270,000 in China, which is around Php 2.1 million.
BYD plans to 4,000 of the Megawatt Flash Chargers all over China in the next couple of Years.
MY NOTES: So the Technology for EVs to charged as fast as Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) can be refueled is now here, it now is just a question of it being adopted by everyone. If all goes well and there are no serious Issues or Trade Offs with this new Technology, then we will see a massive decline in ICEs in the next Decade and the continued rise of EVs, and China is leading the Way.
The Philippines is being left behind in overall EV Technology even in South East Asia (SEA) only as most of them have wholeheartedly embraced Chinese EV Technology, except the Philippines which still insists on siding with the United States (US) and antagonizing China.
Note that the Php 2.1 million Price for the new BYD Car Models is VERY reasonable as these are Top of the Line and Cutting Edge in Technology. But this Price I think is only good in China, if exported it will likely cost a lot more, probably around twice as much.
