美国《纽约时报》8月19日文章，原题：为什么美国无法建造 5 分钟快充充电桩？ 副题：中国车企推出 了可以在大约5分钟内基本充满电动汽车电池的充电桩，而美国的技术却远远落后 中国正在全球电动汽 车市场占据主导地位。国际能源署的数据显示，2024 年中国在全球电动汽车产量中的占比超过70%。 如今，中国电动汽车制造商无论在产品价格，还是技术上都领先于美国车企。5分钟"闪充"充电桩即是 例证。 今年春天，中国两家大型车企都宣布在电池技术领域取得突破，电动汽车仅需充电5分钟即可续航数百 公里。在前往中国试驾了比亚迪销售的新型"闪充"电动汽车后，美国"电动汽车资讯"网主编帕特里克· 乔治表示，中国的电动汽车车型"几乎领先于世界其他地区一两代"。 很容易想象5分钟"闪充"技术将如何改变美国司机对电动汽车的态度。广泛分布的充电桩，再加上与在 加油站加满一箱油所需时间相差无几的充电速度，将在很大程度上有助于缓解阻碍许多人购买电动汽车 的"续航焦虑"。但分析师表示，美国的购车者不太可能很快用上5分钟"闪充"技术。原因如下。 比亚迪的"兆瓦闪充"充电系统取决于两点：首先是能够快速充电的车辆，其次是能够从电网为之快速输 送适配电 ...
