The average electric vehicle today would fry under a megawatt blast. BYD's setup is aimed at a new generation of ultra-high-performance EVs with 1,000-volt architectures—cars specifically engineered to handle the immense heat, electrical load, and power throughput that come with this kind of rapid charging. BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu put it bluntly: “In order to completely solve users’ charging anxiety, our goal is to make the charging time of electric vehicles as short as the refueling time of ICE vehicles.” This marks a dramatic shift in the EV landscape. While megawatt charging has been discussed—mainly for heavy-duty electric trucks—BYD is the first to position it for mass-market passenger vehicles. The non-contact charging system employs an electromagnetic induction method and is characterized by its thin coil areas used for transmitting and receiving electric power.
