A battery’s C-rate is how fast it charges or discharges relative to its own capacity: at 1C it fills in an hour, at 4C in fifteen minutes, at 10C in six. That last figure is not hypothetical. In March 2025 BYD’s Super e-Platform hit 10C — 1,000 kW, 1,000...

A Lucid Gravity GT was measured on a 500 kW Tesla V4 Supercharger in January 2026. It touched 419 kW — briefly, between 3% and 5% state of charge. It averaged 223 kW across the useful 10–80% window, and 107 kW across a full charge to 100%. The number on the sign was...
