Electric car breaks record – charges with two cables at once

A leak from China reveals that the new BYD Han L will charge with two charging cables at once, significantly reducing charging time from 10 to 80 percent.

A new electric car from Chinese manufacturer BYD has been leaked, and it appears to have an impressive charging speed. The electric car, called Han L, can be charged with two charging cables at once thanks to a new technology.

The BYD Han L is built on a 945V architecture, which enables fast charging. According to the leak, the electric car can be charged from 16 to 80 percent in just 10 minutes. A full charge from 80 to 100 percent takes another 14 minutes.

The electric car will have two electric motors that deliver a total output of 1,085 horsepower. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 2.7 seconds.

This is reported by CarNewsChina .

The Han L is equipped with BYD's new Blade battery, which has a higher energy density than previous models. In addition to the electric car variant, the Han L is also expected to be launched as a plug-in hybrid.

The model is expected to be presented in March after the Chinese New Year. Whether the car will reach outside China's borders – and thus potentially Denmark – is not yet known.

But it's not the first time that Chinese car brands have tried to stand out with technology that Western competitors don't have. For example, the BYD-developed YangWang U9 can jump on the spot.

Yes, it's good enough. But it's already gotten at least one owner into trouble with the police. Read more about it here .

On the other hand, cars from China are not immune to everything. Especially not the competition. In China alone, the competition between brands is so fierce that it is expected from many quarters that only the biggest few of them will be left in just a few years.

Conversely, a brand like Nio, which flopped badly in Denmark and last year fired its Danish director, believes that it is among the five largest car brands in the world within an equally short time frame.

In our own latitudes, car brands are struggling to keep their business alive. Volkswagen, for example, will try to get rid of a gigantic debt by closing several factories in Germany. Something that has never happened before.

The news of the factory closures led to reports earlier this month that several Chinese brands are interested in buying Volkswagen out of the factory. In this way, the Chinese can circumvent and avoid the punitive tariffs that the EU imposed last year on all electric cars built in China.
