BYD has confirmed it will unveil the new generation "Super e-Platform” technology and commence pre-sales for the new BYD Han L and Tang L models during a press conference on March 17.

BYD had already introduced its new dual flagship models—Han L and Tang L—back in January this year.

Super e-Platform

The event's theme is "Megawatt Flash Charging, Same Speed for Oil and Electric," indicating potential breakthroughs in charging efficiency and power performance with the new generation of technology.

Additionally, BYD's new generation Blade Battery will also be released at this event.

BYD describes the "Super e-Platform" as the "next-generation electric vehicle technology solution."

According to public information, BYD's previous e-Platform 3.0 already achieved a high degree of vehicle architecture integration.

The "Megawatt Flash Charging" technology might imply a charging power exceeding 1000 kW, representing a several-fold improvement over the current industry standard of 200–400 kW.

If realized, electric vehicle charging times could potentially be reduced to under 10 minutes—comparable to refueling a gas vehicle—although high-voltage architecture and ultra-fast charging infrastructure would be required.

Previously, BYD's newly developed ultra-fast charging piles were revealed online and are already undergoing trial operation.

The BYD app indicates that these charging piles support a maximum operating voltage of 1,000V, a peak current of 1,000A, and a peak power of 1,000 kW.

Tang L & Han L

The Tang L is positioned as a medium-to-large SUV with increased body size (dimensions: 5,040mm x 1,996mm x 1,760/1,970mm) and a wheelbase of 2,950mm. It offers six-seat and seven-seat configurations.

The Han L, on the other hand, is classified as a five-door, five-seat medium-to-large sedan, with a body size of 5,050mm x 1,960mm x 1,505mm and a wheelbase of 2,970mm.

Both Han L and Tang L pure electric models will offer single-motor rear-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions.

The single-motor version delivers a maximum power of 580 kW (approximately 788.58 horsepower), while the dual-motor version adds a 230kW front motor, achieving a system maximum power of 810 kW (approximately 1,100 horsepower).

The Han L EV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2 seconds, while the Tang L EV takes 3.9 seconds.

By contrast, the plug-in hybrid versions will feature relatively moderate performance. Both the Han L and Tang L will be equipped with BYD's fifth-generation DM technology, a 1.5T engine offering a maximum power of 115 kW.

The single-motor version delivers 200 kW and the dual-motor version achieves 400 kW in maximum power output.
