Even in sub-zero conditions
- 20%-97% charge takes 12 minutes at -20°C and at -30°C, just three minutes longer than at ambient temperatures

BYD are building 20000 1500kW chargers in 2026, with coverage every 100km along motorways.
- They will use 120kW chargers to refill battery packs that will deliver 1500kW to a car.

Even with just the 400kW chargers we have in North America, 10-70% is only a 10 minute charge.
