"BYD, one of the fastest-growing car makers and the world’s biggest battery
manufacturer, has announced its second-generation Blade battery, which when
charged with the company’s latest Flash Charging, achieves 10% to 70% charge in
just 5 minutes.
The new Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery packs will keep their safety
credentials but now incorporate charging speeds of up to 1,500 kW at the
company’s upcoming Flash Charging sites.
In a post on X, the company shared some remarkable metrics around the charge
times, including those in freezing temperatures:
* 10% to 70% in 5 minutes (room temperature)
* 10% to 97% in 9 minutes (room temperature)
* 10% to 97% in 12 minutes (−30°C extreme cold)
At the same time, the company said it will be rolling out thousands of new
flash charging sites across China to begin with, that will incorporate the new
T shaped charging gantries, designed to charge vehicles at scale.
Various models were also announced that have the latest Flash Charging tech,
one of which is officially the longest range EV in the world, claiming over
1,000 km of range. That is the new Denza Z9 GT."
