Han Media: 97% Charging in 9 Minutes, BYD Launches Second-Generation Blade Battery!

On March 7, the South Korean media outlet "Herald Economic" published an article stating, "70% charged in 5 minutes, 97% charged in 9 minutes." The world's largest new energy vehicle manufacturer, BYD, has recently officially launched its second-generation blade battery and flash charging technology.

The key feature of this technology is improved energy density, greatly shortening the charging time. In addition, it can maintain high charging efficiency even in low temperature environments. Currently, charging speed limitations and performance degradation in cold weather are considered major obstacles to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.

BYD explained, "After six years of research and development, the second-generation blade battery aims to provide a charging experience comparable to the refueling speed of internal combustion engine vehicles."

The key to the second-generation blade battery lies in its fast charging speed. It takes only 5 minutes to charge from 10% to 70%, and less than 10 minutes to reach 97%.

Even in extremely cold conditions, performance degradation is minimal. At -30°C, it takes about 12 minutes to charge from 20% to 97%, which is only 3 minutes longer than at room temperature.

BYD has improved the charging speed and performance. Compared to the previous generation, the energy density has increased by approximately 5%, and the battery life has also been extended. The company announced that the new all-electric version of the Chengyi Z9 GT has a range of up to 1,036 kilometers per charge, setting a record for the best range in its class, which is a significant improvement from the previous 630 kilometers.

BYD also launched a new "Flash Charging Station". It uses a 1000V high-voltage system, with a single interface output power of up to 1500kW.

According to the company's plan, BYD plans to build 20,000 flash charging stations in China this year. In the past two months, 4,239 have already been installed.

In addition, the goal is to complete 2,000 highway charging stations by the end of the year, creating an environment where a charging station is available every approximately 100 kilometers.
