BYD Unveils Battery System That Charges EVs in Five Minutes
(www.bloomberg.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
What are you charging with? I have a 208E and whilst I have issues with it, charging speed isn't one of them. Will usually receive 75+KWh at a fast charger (registers as 300+ mph on the dash). My home 7KWh charger will charge the car from practically flat to 90% in 5 hours (registers as 28mph on dash).
What actually drives me mad about this car is
Probably more. I like the look of the car. It drives great. It's nippy from a stand still. Range is shit. Overall 6/10.
It's the 75kW on a DC charger thats slow, decade old cars are getting better speeds than that and cars a couple of years old are 200kW+ on DC with some peaking at 300kW.
The 7kW AC charging is also annoying because they limit it by using single phase charging, especially if you're in a country where 32A single phase current is not normal in residential areas. Then you're limited to 16A which is only 3.5kW, meaning you can barely charge it in a night. There is just no good reason to do single phase charging on new cars.
There is a 3 phase 11Kw option for the car you could have had :( I don't think they retrofit them though.
Lyckily it was only a loaner I had for a little more than a week.
