BYD Claims 5-Minute Charge for 250 Miles: Tesla’s Superchargers Challenged

Imagine the convenience of charging your EV in the same time it takes to fill up a gas tank. BYD says it has the technology to make that a reality, with its vehicles capable of charging for 250 miles of range in just 5 minutes. If true, this could be a game-changer for EV adoption, significantly reducing charging anxiety and potentially outpacing Tesla’s Supercharger network. However, US tariffs are currently preventing BYD’s comparatively inexpensive vehicles, equipped with this cutting-edge technology, from entering the US market.
