Central to the Han L’s fast charging is its internal electrical infrastructure. It starts with the battery, which according to CarNewsChina citing regulatory documents, is an 83.2 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) pack that operates at 945 volts. (In its marketing materials, the company appears to have rounded up and lists it at 1,000 volts).

Other haughty claims with the new platform include a new electric motor design that operates at over 30,000 rpm and new silicon carbide power microchips to support the battery and drivetrain. BYD says its new chip has a voltage rating of up to 1500 volts, and the vehicles have a 1000-volt charging system.
