#400km EV range

BYD is flipping the script on EV charging, unveiling a revolutionary megawatt-level charger that delivers an astonishing 1,000kW of power—enough to add up to 400km of range in only five minutes. According to BYD, drivers will be able to add hundreds of kilometers of range in the time it takes to grab a coffee—potentially eliminating one of the last remaining pain points of EV ownership: charging time. But BYD’s tech points to a fast-approaching future where rapid top-ups rival gas station pit stops, and “range anxiety” becomes a relic of the past.

In terms of the overall design, the Crossblade Ranger looks very similar to some of the Z97 boards under the ROG lineup, particularly the ROG Maximus VII. The far end of the of the Crossblade Ranger’s left side houses the board’s I/O ports which comprises of four (4) USB 3.0 ports, two (2) USB 2.0 ports, an RJ-45, BIOS Reset button, TOSlink optical out, three video ports (VGA, DVI and HDMI), a PS/2 port and six (6) gold-plated 3.5mm jacks for the sound.
