BYD isn’t content with its EVs outselling Tesla, now it wants to take on the American electric car giant’s Supercharger charging network with an even faster network of BYD megawatt super-fast chargers.
Tesla’s Supercharger network is one of the biggest reasons to buy a Tesla, thanks to exclusive use of the charging points for Tesla owners at some locations and the ease with which they work with Tesla models – they recognise the car and automatically bill the owner. There are currently over 60,000 Tesla Superchargers across the world, with the latest units able to add up to 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes at speeds up to 250kW.
