awesome. Chinese EV innovation continues at a rapid pace - it's going to transform the world. In the meantime, america is defunding EVs and locking themselves technologically into the past. Its so short term and self destructive - the US car industries are quickly going to become irrelevant globally, only selling oversized fossil cars to the domestic market while the rest of the world leaves them behind.
American cars already are irrelevant globally aren't they? The only US car brands I tend to see in Europe are Tesla (not for long though), and Jeep and Chrysler which are now French / Italian owned.
Presumably there is a need to transfer a lot of power in a very short timescale. That would seem to be the biggest hurdle to implementing this. The infrastructure would need to support it.
Curious to see Tesla reveal what they've been working on. As the leader in EVs (according to this site) I expect nothing less than something better than what BYD have brought to the table.
BYD’s new battery and charging system was capable of providing 470 kilometers (292 miles) of range in 5 minutes in tests on its new Han L sedan
So... if that sedan uses 200 watt-hours per mile, that comes to 720 kilowatts, or 3/4 of a megawatts.
The V4 supercharges are supposed to get up to 350 kilowatts. Maybe this would be amenable to being plugged in to two chargers at once?

I've got a feeling that BYD is iPhonizing EVs...
Warren Buffett is an early investor in BYD, btw.
