On March 5th, BYD officially released the second-generation blade battery, and Japanese media also reported on it.

On March 5th, a Japanese netizen posted a comment criticizing, "It's amazing! BYD has developed a new battery that works like refueling, with a maximum range of 1036 km and can be charged in about 9 minutes."

The netizen posted three screenshots of Japanese TV reports showing that BYD's new generation of batteries can have a maximum range of up to 1036 km.

Moreover, it supports a new fast-charging system, which can charge the battery in about 9 minutes (from 10% to 97%).

Chairman Wang Chuanfu stated, "It realizes fast charging as quick as refueling."

The next day, the post was forwarded to a Japanese forum, sparking heated discussions among Japanese netizens.

Japanese netizens expressed some disbelief:

Toyota has been surpassed, hahaha. Toyota also said they had a battery that could be charged in 10 minutes, was it copied?

(Note: Toyota announced in 2023 a collaboration with Idemitsu Kosan to achieve mass production of "solid-state batteries" - charging for 10 minutes can provide over 1000 km of range, aiming to equip electric vehicles with this technology by 2027 to make it commercially viable.)

I don't quite understand, why can't they promote 100% charge in 10 minutes?

Most Japanese people don't realize that we are seriously lagging behind China in the field of technology.

This range is enough for war, isn't it?

This is an arbitrary display method. Perhaps the key is that the remaining 10% actually equals 30% of the charge, while 11% to 100% equals 70% of the charge?

Spending 10 minutes to charge, but saying it's as fast as refueling, that's too exaggerated.

How about safety?

Amazing, no wonder it's the world leader.

It might cause a big explosion.

Probably the charging equipment is super expensive, and there are no related charging stations either.

It's impressive, but is it really safe?

China has taken a huge lead in battery technology, and Japan is completely no match.

Due to the high voltage used, the electricity bill will be very high?

I'm curious how durable the battery is under such high voltage, I feel it won't last long.
