A car maker says it has developed technology that accelerates Electric vehicle Charging the battery to even 5 minutes per 1,000 kilowatts, which can provide almost 250 miles driving range.
The potential battery breakthrough was Posted on Livinity On Monday by the Chinese carmaker of BYD, Wang Chuanfu and Sent the company's shares are increasing. Charging technology will provide an increase in fuel at twice as high as Tesla Currently it offers its charger stations.
BYD says it plans to deploy China's infrastructure technology. The batteries that can charge that they will initially be embedded in two new vehicle vehicles, sedan and SUV.
The company did not say how soon it would build that infrastructure or when those vehicles could be available.
A representative for BYD did not respond immediately to the commentary request.
Fighting anxiety in range
If the specified BYD range is correct, it can go a long way to mitigate one of the biggest obstacles for potential US buyers: range of anxiety. For a long -range trip across the United States, EV's owners must plan their trips based on the availability of EV charging sites as their average range is typical between 200 and 300 miles on charges. But recent climate -focused policy changes and twists have Called in question Will EV's networks, such as Tesla, continue to spread in the United States. Last year, Tesla About 500 workers from his charger team fired.
The Chinese companies on EV were It grows fast And they hope to get the basis of other markets like Tesla, the leading US, EV, faced a reaction Above the political activity of CEO Elon Musk and other issues.
Faster EV charging can mean a greater turnover of existing EV charging stations and shorter waiting time for EV's owners. BYD says its new technology is making EVC comparable to a gas car in terms of fuel time.
Ryan Roman, CEO of Automobile group RohmanAn automatic mid -west dealer serving in multiple states said the BYD news could move the needle for the EV industry.
“If the BYD announcement is correct, it could significantly strengthen the adoption of EV,” Rohman said. “The anxiety of the range remains a great concern, but the ability to fill EV as fast as the gas fuel will eliminate that concern. The next challenge to solve is to ensure that there are sufficient charging stations to support the widespread use.”
