The 897V platform is interesting for charging speeds, but I want to see the actual charging curve. Claiming 570 km of range added in 15 minutes sounds optimistic. What is the peak kilowatt draw during that window and can the local grid actually support that many high power chargers in one area?

The tech is impressive, but the real question is the supply chain for those SiC modules. If they are developing these internally, they are trying to bypass the current bottlenecks in power electronics. It is a move to secure their own margins against semiconductor volatility.

Xiaomi is moving fast into the EV space. The focus here is clearly on performance and luxury, but the silicon carbide efficiency gains are the part that actually matters for scaling electrification.
