A 5-Minute Charge for This EV Battery Gives You 250 Miles of Range, China's BYD Says

The charging technology would provide fuel-ups at twice the speed thatTeslacurrently offers at its Supercharger stations.

BYD says it plans to deploy the charging-infrastructure technology in China.

The company didn’t say how soon it would build that infrastructure or when those vehicles might be available.

A representative for BYD didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Last year, Teslalaid off about 500 workers from its Supercharger team.

The next challenge to tackle is ensuring there are enough charging stations to support widespread use."
