Overview
- BYD claims charging from 10% to 70% in about five minutes and to 97% in around nine to ten minutes, with a 20% to 97% recharge in roughly 12 minutes after a −30°C cold soak.
- The new 1,500 kW Flash charger uses a 1,000‑volt, 1,500‑amp architecture and an overhead T‑shaped layout with plug‑and‑charge to speed stops and simplify cable handling.
- BYD targets 20,000 Flash stations by the end of 2026, reports 4,239 completed so far, plans 1,000 highway sites at roughly 100 km intervals, and says sites will use on‑site energy storage to ease grid load.
- The Blade Battery 2.0 is about 5% more energy‑dense, slated for roughly ten models, and under CLTC enables over 1,000 km ranges on vehicles like the Yangwang U7 (1,006 km) and Denza Z9GT (1,036 km).
- BYD says the pack passed nail‑penetration and bottom‑impact demonstrations and complies with China’s latest safety standards, while real‑world charging and range will require independent verification beyond CLTC figures.
