Chinese EV manufacturer BYD has introduced a new battery and charging system.
The Super E Platform is capable of delivering charging speeds of up to 1 megawatt (1000kW), allowing for a 5-minute charge to replenish up to 400km of range.
BYD plans to build over 4,000 'megawatt flash charging stations' across China in the future.
BYD has unveiled its first two electric vehicles, the Han L and Tang L, built on the new Super E Platform.
