BEIJING: For the first time ever, it announced that it would build a charging network throughout China on Monday ( Mar 17 ), unveiled a new platform for electric vehicles ( EVs ) that it claimed would charge EVs as quickly as it takes to pump gas.
The so-called” very e-platform” will be able to reach 1, 000 kilowatts (kW), making it possible for cars to travel 400 kilometers on a 5-minute cost, founder Wang Chuanfu said at a live-streamed event from the bank’s Shenzhen headquarters.
Tesla’s compressors, whose most recent model offers up to 500kW paying speeds, may be twice as fast as charging speeds of 1, 000kW. Fast-charging technology has been a key factor in boosting EV implementation because it is believed to help alleviate EV drivers ‘ concerns about being able to demand their vehicles immediately.
We have been working with the goal of reducing the charging time of electric vehicles to less than the period of gasoline vehicles when trying to completely alleviate our person’s charging anxiety, Wang said.
” This is the first time in the industry that the unit of megawatt ( charge ) has been achieved on charging power,” he continued.
