Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD has revealed new fast-charging tech that can add 400km (249 miles) of range from a five minute charge. With the announcement, BYD has also promised to make a major investment in charging infrastructure, building over 4,000 of the new fast chargers across China.
The “Super e-Platform” tech is capable of charging at peak speeds of 1,000kW, double the fastest Tesla V4 superchargers, which will peak at 500kW when they roll out this year. The faster charging tech is initially available in two new vehicles, the Han L sedan and Tang L SUV, which start at 270,000 yuan (around $37,330).
“In order to completely solve our users’ charging anxiety, we have been pursuing a goal to make the charging time of electric vehicles as short as the refuelling time of petrol vehicles,” BYD founder Wang Chuanfu said from a Shenzhen launch event. “This is the first time in the industry that the unit of megawatt has been achieved on charging power.”
Darth Vaders’s main power was not lightning, but telekinesis. I’d bet he would have a greater output spinning one (or more) industrial generators.
Oh, good thinking, yeah! Lol
(Also that is how force users would be used irl.)
There is also the whatever amount of power (fields?) was used for constant healing & prolonging life by Palpatine for himself & his lil puppy (Vader in my previous msg was a brainfart, I prob meant Sidious, but same diff … can’t brain today no more).
I bet this could be modified to make electricity via some chemical processes.
