Overview
- BYD says the new LFP-based cells can accept up to 1,500 kW through a single connector, enabling roughly five minutes from 10% to 70% and about nine minutes from 10% to 97%.
- The company is rolling out T‑shaped 1.5 MW Flash Chargers with on‑site buffer storage, reporting more than 4,200 stations in China and a target of 20,000 by the end of 2026.
- BYD reports passing extreme safety demonstrations, including a nail‑penetration test during fast charging after 500 cycles and a four‑cell short‑circuit without fire or explosion.
- The first application is slated for the Denza Z9 GT, which carries a quoted 1,036 km CLTC range, while European specifications, WLTP figures and warranty terms are still pending.
- The firm also claims strong cold‑weather performance, citing a 20% to 97% charge in about 12 minutes after storage at −30°C, with standards compatibility such as CCS in Europe remaining unclear.
