  • Flash stations are rated up to 1,500 kW and use T-shaped overhead connectors plus integrated solar and battery storage to buffer grid load.

  • Blade Battery 2.0 brings about 5% higher energy density, claims over 1,000 km CLTC range, passes enhanced safety tests, and maintains fast charging in –30°C with a 20% to 97% charge in about 12 minutes; early compatible models include Denza Z9 GT, Yangwang U7, Seal 07 and Sealion 06.
