"BYD's new flagship SUV, the Great Tang, is similar to the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Lucid Gravity in size and purpose, but it blows them out of the water when it comes to the underlying tech. Based on BYD's latest Super e platform, which uses the newly revealed second-generation Blade lithium iron phosphate battery, the Great Tang SUV's spec sheet is just out of this world compared to its closest rivals."
"According to BYD, its second-gen Blade battery can go from 10% to 97% state of charge in just nine minutes when connected to its latest Flash chargers, which means owners will barely have time to hit the bathroom during a charging stop. Even at a freezing temperature of -22F (-30C), BYD's new LFP battery can charge from 20-97% in about 12 minutes, which is unlike anything available today in the United States."
"By comparison, the fastest-charging electric SUVs on sale in the U.S., the Lucid Gravity and Porsche Cayenne Electric, can accept up to 400 kW from a potent enough DC fast charger. Range-wise, the Gravity is EPA-rated for up to 450 miles (724 kilometers) when equipped with the 123-kilowatt-hour battery, while the Cayenne Electric, which is powered by a 108-kWh pack, doesn't have an EPA rating yet."
BYD's new flagship Great Tang SUV represents a major technological leap in electric vehicle capabilities. Built on BYD's Super e platform with second-generation Blade lithium iron phosphate batteries, the vehicle offers nearly 600 miles of range and revolutionary charging speeds. The 1,000-volt architecture enables 1,500-kilowatt Flash charging that replenishes the battery from 10% to 97% in nine minutes at optimal temperatures, and 12 minutes even at -22°F. These specifications substantially exceed current U.S. market leaders like the Lucid Gravity and Porsche Cayenne Electric, which max out at 400 kilowatts and offer lower range capabilities. BYD's advancement demonstrates China's competitive edge as Western automakers scale back EV investments.
