9 Minutes To 97%: BYD Just Made EV Charging Basically As Quick As Getting Gas
"The company's new Flash chargers can deliver 1,500 kilowatts (1.5 megawatts) of peak charging power, thanks to 1,500 amps of current and a 1,000-volt base architecture. That's three times the peak charging speeds Tesla's latest V4 Superchargers can deliver here in the U.S. Most new EV chargers in America can put out 250-400 kW, matching the capability of the market's fastest-charging vehicles."
"When the new Flash charger is plugged into a vehicle equipped with the new Blade 2.0 battery, it takes only five minutes to charge from 10-70% and about 9 minutes to reach 97%. In temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius (-22 degrees Fahrenheit), the battery will charge from 20-97% in just 12 minutes."
BYD introduced its next-generation Flash chargers capable of delivering 1,500 kilowatts of peak charging power through 1,500 amps of current and 1,000-volt architecture. Combined with the company's upgraded Blade 2.0 lithium-iron phosphate battery, these chargers achieve unprecedented charging speeds. A vehicle equipped with Blade 2.0 reaches 10-70% charge in five minutes and 97% in approximately nine minutes. Even in extreme cold conditions of -30 degrees Celsius, the battery charges from 20-97% in just 12 minutes. This represents a threefold increase over Tesla's V4 Superchargers and significantly surpasses typical American EV chargers. The Flash chargers are arranged in T-shaped towers resembling traditional gas stations, making EV charging stops nearly equivalent to conventional refueling.
