🚗 BYD has stunned the EV world by launching its new electric sedan, the Han L, with groundbreaking fast-charging technology and a shockingly affordable price tag. With the ability to add over 250 miles of range in just 5 minutes, this EV may set a new benchmark for the industry.
BYD Han L Sets New Standard with Megawatt Charging
-
BYD’s Han L and Tang L are the first EVs to support megawatt-level charging—a major leap from the 350–400 kW limits seen in most EVs today.
-
With this tech, drivers can gain around 248 miles (400 km) of range in just 5 minutes, nearly eliminating range anxiety.
💡 Since most current chargers can't deliver a full megawatt, BYD included dual charging ports, allowing the car to draw from two high-speed chargers at once—up to 500 kW each. ⚡⚡
BYD Han L's Surprisingly Low Price
Here’s where things get even more interesting:
-
The Han L starts at just ¥209,800 (~$28,544)—lower than the earlier estimate of ¥270,000.
-
By comparison, the Tesla Model 3 starts at ¥235,000 (~$32,000) in China.
Even the fully loaded Han L trim costs only ¥279,800 (~$37,935), making it more affordable than the average car in the U.S..

What About the Tang L SUV?
BYD didn’t stop at the sedan. The Tang L, built on the same 1,000V platform, is a mid-sized electric SUV with similar specs.
-
Starting at ¥229,800 (~$31,268)
-
Top trim priced at ¥289,800 (~$39,432)
-
Fast charging, luxury interior, and powerful motor included.
This SUV offers luxury features and hyper-fast charging, all while staying significantly more affordable than Western rivals like Lucid or Porsche.
Can the West Catch Up?
📉 While Chinese automakers like BYD push the limits of EV tech, many Western brands are still rolling out basic compliance EVs to meet regulations.
If companies don’t invest in true innovation, the EV crown may stay in China—especially with cars like the Han L undercutting Tesla while delivering more advanced tech.
Conclusion
BYD’s Han L shows that quick-charging, high-performance EVs don’t have to cost a fortune. With dual-port charging, over 1,000 hp, and a real-world driving range of 350+ miles, it’s hard to see how competitors will keep up without rethinking their strategy.
