    What the fuck does 5 minute charge mean? Zero to full in 5 minutes? For that big of a battery I believe that is not physically possible

      This is one of those rare situations where reading the fucking manual article helps:

      A standard home charger trickles power overnight at roughly 7 kilowatts, like a garden hose. A Tesla Supercharger—long considered the gold standard of public fast-charging—maxes out around 250 kilowatts. BYD is unleashing six times that amount of energy, effectively hooking the car up to a high-pressure municipal water main.

      During a live demonstration onstage, BYD plugged in its new Han L sedan, making the battery jump from 10% to 80% capacity in exactly six minutes and 30 seconds.

    I didn’t see any mention of which standard was used to calculate range so I’m assuming CLTC.
