Following its national intelligent driving strategy, BYD has once again sent shockwaves through the global automotive industry in just over a month.

The world's most powerful pure electric vehicle (EV) platform—the "Super e-Platform"—has officially debuted, integrating several world-first technologies within its "three-electric" system.

The 1360kW megawatt ultra-fast charging system, ultra-fast charging battery, 30,000 RPM motor, and 1500V high-power silicon carbide chip—these technological breakthroughs enable the newly launched Tang L EV and Han L EV to gain 400 km of range in just 5 minutes of charging, with a blistering 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 2.7 seconds. The charging speed matches that of refueling a gasoline vehicle, putting BYD leagues ahead in performance.

BYD is pushing the boundaries of its own achievements, launching what can only be described as a "suicidal" technological revolution. While disrupting its existing success, it is also keeping competitors awake at night and directly dismantling the final stronghold of fuel-powered vehicles.

In an era where Japanese automakers led the hybridization trend and the new energy vehicle (NEV) market focused on pure electric models, BYD pioneered plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) with its F3DM, single-handedly pushing PHEVs to their historical peak. In 2024, BYD's PHEV sales reached 2.485 million units, accounting for 59% of its total annual sales.

Now, BYD's latest generation of pure electric technology has, for the first time, comprehensively surpassed both gasoline and PHEV vehicles in user experience. The breakthrough ultra-fast charging battery and megawatt charging infrastructure have achieved "oil-electric parity" in refueling speed, eliminating range anxiety. As a result, PHEVs' biggest selling point—"no range anxiety"—has instantly collapsed.

The Super e-Platform cements BYD’s leadership in the NEV industry. While accelerating the demise of gasoline cars, it also presents a historical challenge for PHEVs. After all, the very existence of PHEVs was due to the industry's struggle with pure EV charging infrastructure.

BYD’s ultimate goal is to turn gas stations into historical relics. The final showdown between pure electric and gasoline vehicles is no longer a future vision—it is happening right now.

With each new technological generation, BYD renders the entire industry’s previous generation obsolete.

From the F3DM to the Super e-Platform, in just 14 years, BYD has evolved from e-Platform 1.0 to the cutting-edge Super e-Platform, driving market progress at every stage and positioning itself as a beacon for global automotive development.

BYD's megawatt ultra-fast charging system, featuring a 1000V high-voltage architecture, 10C ultra-fast charging battery, and 1360kW liquid-cooled charging pile, sets three world records, completely redefining the charging experience.

This breakthrough is the final straw that will crush gasoline cars. The emotional attachment to fuel-powered vehicles may persist for a while, but their exit from the mainstream market is now inevitable.

Whether through technological iteration or strategic upgrades, BYD is "killing" the PHEVs it once prided itself on with pure electric technology, simultaneously opening a new battlefield for premium EVs. The future of the global automotive industry will be upheld by pure electric vehicles.

It's a pity that just as global automakers were about to go all-in on plug-in hybrid vehicles, their plans were instantly crushed by BYD's Super e-Platform. The future is once again shrouded in uncertainty.

This is not merely a competition with winners and losers—it is a matter of survival. BYD has chosen to abandon its past self, demonstrating not just its technological prowess but also a profound understanding of industrial trends.

With the final mile of EV range anxiety eliminated, the automotive industry is poised to shift from an "arms race" of technological specs to a "battle of user experience." Traditional powertrain technologies, such as engines and transmissions, will see their value rapidly depreciate, and competition among automakers will return to user experience and brand value.

All three major technologies released by BYD this time are the world’s first mass-produced solutions. This is no longer just about product and technology iteration, nor merely a contest of market share and industry ranking—it is a "value chain reconstruction" for the global automotive industry.

BYD’s in-house development of the three-electric system and automotive-grade semiconductors marks a turning point for Chinese automotive technology—from being a follower to setting industry standards. China’s auto industry is no longer passively "trading market share for technology" but has become an active global competitor and rule-maker.

The death of gasoline cars has never been driven by policy—it has always been a matter of technological progress.

If BYD does not eliminate its own past, its disruptor could be Toyota, Great Wall, or Geely. But for BYD, its true opponent has never been Tesla or the German luxury brands (BBA), nor even Great Wall or Geely. Its greatest rival is itself—the willingness to abandon its own advantages and reinvent itself.

The new BYD has killed the old BYD. This is the most spectacular transformation in the history of China’s automotive industry. And that dust-covered gasoline car model at BYD’s headquarters will stand as a silent witness to this great revolution.

When the last gasoline car rolls off the production line, who will be there celebrating with BYD?
