After a brief jaunt through Beijing afternoon traffic, aided by BYD's God Eye automated driving assistance system, our convoy arrived at a local dealership to try Megawatt charging. BYD's demonstration involved one car plugged into the Megawatt station while a projector screen showed the crowd of journalists the charging results.

So they were given an organized tour, under completely controlled conditions?

most homes have 100 amps at 120 volts so 12 kilowatt service. A really large home might have 200 amp service so 24 kilowatts. This mega charger is using the electricity of 50 to 100 homes. And at any given time, most homes are using less than 50 percent of the power they could potentially use. there are 150,000 gas stations in the US and each of the mega charges would cost about $5-7 million. So the cost of replacing the gas stations is almost $1 trillion. With that money why not buy everyone in the US a Corvette and a Bentley and pay for their health insurance.
