Elektromobilität: Das sind die Tiefpreisler unter den Starkstromern

The world of electric vehicles in Germany is increasingly splitting into two categories: traditional 400-volt models and more powerful 800-volt counterparts. The latter may cost more, but they offer quicker charging times and higher driving performance. Those who frequently undertake long highway trips would appreciate these benefits.

However, the upfront costs are higher. Nevertheless, there are a few 800-volt models that undercut the 50,000-euro mark. The BYD Atto 3 Evo currently represents the low point for 800-volt bargains. This Chinese giant surprised many by transitioning its Atto 3 from 400 to 800 volts in spring. The latest version, the Evo, boasts 800 volts, making it a high-performance fast charger capable of delivering up to 220 kW to its 75 kWh battery pack.

This allows the Atto 3 Evo to charge from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 25 minutes using a hypercharger.
