A recent leak of technical information from BYD, originating from Chinese forums and social networks, revealed details about a charging system for electric vehicles capable of reaching maximum input power of 2100 kW. Essas specifications, not yet officially confirmed by the company, suggest a significant advance over current ultra-fast recharging technologies.

The leaked material includes equipment identification labels, which indicate individual output channels between 1200 kW and 1500 kW, with the possibility of distribution to multiple connectors. Esse system represents an evolution compared to BYD’s previous generation, launched in 2025.

BYD maintains leadership in the development of high-power chargers for passenger EVs at China. The company has already implemented stations capable of delivering up to 1000 kW in models such as Han L and Tang L.

  • The current leak points to 2100 kW as the system’s maximum input power.
  • Individual channels operate between 1200 kW and 1500 kW.
  • The technology integrates energy storage for high peaks.

Evolution of BYD charging systems

BYD’s first generation of megawatt chargers hit the market in March 2025.

The company plans to expand the network with thousands of units throughout China. Modelos compatible batteries already incorporate batteries prepared for high charging rates.

A previous leak, recorded in early February 2026, mentioned an intermediate version with a peak of 1500 kW and a current of 1500 A. The new material suggests that BYD is working on even more robust configurations.

Technical specifications of the new system

The hollow equipment operates with a maximum input power of 2100 kW. Essa capacity doubled compared to the initial generation of 1000 kW.

Output channels range from 1200 kW to 1500 kW per connector. The configuration allows simultaneous service to multiple vehicles without significant loss of performance.

The technology combines connection to the electrical grid with battery storage systems (BESS). Essa approach guarantees high peaks even on grids with limited capacity.

The system maintains full liquid cooling. Essa feature ensures thermal efficiency during high power operations.

Comparison with current chargers

BYD’s megawatt chargers outperform globally available options for passenger electric vehicles. Concorrentes offer stations up to 600 kW in markets such as Estados Unidos and Europa.

At China, other automakers develop systems above 500 kW. Nenhum reaches the levels indicated in BYD leaks.

The company’s current generation already adds hundreds of kilometers of autonomy in minutes. The new configuration reduces reload time even further.

Battery support technology

BYD vehicles equipped with the Super e-Platform support charging rates greater than 10C. Essa capacity allows for rapid energy absorption without compromising battery life.

Recent models demonstrate gains of 400 km in five minutes with 1000 kW chargers. High power requires advances in cell chemistry and thermal management.

The company invests in blade batteries with greater energy density. Essas units tolerate high currents during short recharge cycles.

Infrastructure and planned expansion

BYD accelerates the installation of ultra-fast stations in several regions of China. Parcerias with network operators expand coverage on highways and urban areas.

The leaky system integrates local storage to mitigate demands on the main electrical grid. Essa solution enables deployment in locations with limited infrastructure.

The company has announced hundreds of 1000 kW units in international markets. The new generation reinforces its position in the quick recharge segment.

Operational details revealed

Equipment labels indicate a maximum voltage of 1000 V. The supported current reaches levels compatible with megawatt peaks.

The design includes multiple simultaneous loading guns. Essa functionality intelligently distributes power between connected vehicles.

Internal tests suggest autonomy gains of more than 500 km in five-minute sessions. The data remains unverified officially.

Advances in refrigeration and safety

Liquid cooling covers all critical components. Essa technology dissipates heat generated in high-power operations.

Sensors monitor temperature and current in real time. The system automatically stops in case of anomalies.

Communication protocols follow Chinese standards for electric vehicles. Compatibility covers several models of the brand.

BYD’s position in the global market

The company consolidates leadership in fast charging technologies at Ásia. Continuous Investimentos extends the advantage over international rivals.

Megawatt stations already operate in strategic points. Usuários report significantly reduced reload times.

The evolution to 2100 kW positions BYD at the forefront of EV innovation. The development accelerates the transition to large-scale electric mobility.
