The second-generation Blade Battery can charge from 10% to 70% in just 5 minutes, and from 10% to 97% in 9 minutes. Impressively, even in sub-zero conditions, the system maintains remarkable efficiency: a 20%-97% charge takes 12 minutes at -20°C, and the same 12 minutes at -30°C, just three minutes longer than at ambient temperatures for the 20%-97% range. Furthermore, when using standard charging piles, the second-generation Blade Battery charges 30%-50% faster than conventional EV batteries.
Beyond speed, the second-generation Blade Battery boasts several significant improvements over its predecessor. It achieves 5% higher energy density, promises a longer lifespan, and adheres to even stricter safety standards. Demonstrating its capabilities, the Denza Z9GT, equipped with the new battery, achieves a range of 1036 km on a single charge.
To support this new technology, BYD is rolling out a new generation of Flash Charging stations. These stations feature an innovative T-shaped design, making the charging gun more accessible and convenient. The charging gun itself is more compact and includes dedicated waterproof protection.
Mimicking traditional gas stations, these new Flash Charging stations will implement an idle fee for vehicles that overstay their charging time. Each charging gun delivers a maximum output of 1500 kW and operates at 1000V high voltage, ensuring rapid charging even in extreme cold.
