Chinese automotive giant BYD has launched its first EVs built upon the new Super e-platform. The spotlight shines on the sleek Han L sedan and the spacious Tang L SUV, both boasting jaw-dropping ultra-fast charging capabilities.
During an electrifying launch event, BYD unveiled these new models, with company engineers proclaiming they’ve reached the “master realm of Chinese technology.” This bold statement is backed by the impressive specs of the Han L and Tang L, the first vehicles to utilize BYD’s cutting-edge 1000V Super e-platform.
According to BYD, both the Han L and Tang L can gain an incredible nearly 250 miles (400 km for the Han L, 370 km for the Tang L) of range in a mere 5 minutes!
The Han L takes it even further, able to recharge from 10% to 70% in just six minutes and achieve a full 0% to 100% charge in 20 minutes. The Tang L isn’t far behind, offering a full charge in around 30 minutes.
