Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank
Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 weeks agoAssuming this is about the same thing as the other BYD charging article I saw a couple days ago, they’re using a higher voltage, which would let them charge faster without needing a thicker* cable.

That’s my point. More energy means either more copper or more rubber in the cable.

Rubber is cheap though
