BYD has shaken up the electric vehicle market with the launch of its first models built on the Super e-platform. The new BYD ultra-fast charging EVs, Han L sedan and Tang L SUV, offer incredible performance, groundbreaking charging speeds, and competitive pricing—all starting at just $30,000.
With this launch, BYD aims to erase the biggest fear for EV buyers: range anxiety.
A 5-Minute Charge That Delivers 250 Miles
Thanks to its new 1,000V Super e-platform, BYD delivers what most EV owners have only dreamed of—charging speeds that match gas refueling.
The Han L can gain up to 248 miles (400 km) of range in just 5 minutes. The Tang L isn’t far behind, adding 230 miles (370 km) in the same time. A full charge takes just 20 minutes for the sedan and 30 minutes for the SUV.
BYD CEO Wang Chuanfu summed it up best:
“The ultimate solution [to range anxiety] is to make charging as quick as refueling.”

This innovation is expected to boost BYD’s standing not just in China, but globally. The company is already the world’s leading EV seller according to Reuters.

The BYD ultra-fast charging EVs could mark the start of a new era for electric vehicles—one where charging time is no longer a compromise. At a starting price of $30,000, these vehicles promise high-end specs, modern design, and unbeatable convenience.
