BYD is once again pushing technological boundaries, with Chinese media reporting on the development of second-generation ultra-fast charging stations capable of up to 2,100 kW. This more than doubles the power of the company's current 1,000 kW stations, which can already replenish about 400 km of range in just five minutes. China maintains its leadership in electric vehicles and infrastructure, and BYD was the first to launch Megawatt Flash Charging technology: 1,000 A, 10C charging, and half a thousand megawatt-class stations nationwide.

Now, a next-level system is in the works, delivering up to 1,500 A, up to 1,500 kW in standard mode, and a peak of 2,100 kW through power distribution across multiple cables. These figures even surpass the ambitions of Huawei, which previously promised 1.5 MW stations. In parallel, BYD is developing more affordable versions with 200–600 kW power to cover the mass market segment.

However, such massive power levels won't be realized without vehicles capable of handling that current. Current BYD Han L and Tang L models already use a 1,000 V architecture and demonstrate high-speed charging potential, but the company is clearly building an infrastructure foundation for future models that can charge almost as quickly as internal combustion engine cars refuel with gasoline.

If BYD brings this project to series production, the global charging system market will face a new power race—and new standards for electric vehicles.
