Core Viewpoint - BYD has officially launched its second-generation blade battery, addressing key issues in the electric vehicle industry such as slow charging and low-temperature charging times [1]. Group 1: Charging Speed - The second-generation blade battery can charge from 10% to 70% in just 5 minutes, matching traditional refueling speeds [1]. - It takes only 9 minutes to charge from 10% to 97%, setting a record for the fastest mass-produced charging speed globally [1]. - A real-world test of the BYD Seal 07 EV showed a charging time of 8 minutes and 44 seconds from 10% to 97% [3]. Group 2: Low-Temperature Charging - The second-generation blade battery effectively resolves the issue of slow charging in low temperatures, demonstrated by a test in Harbin at -20°C, where it charged from 20% to 97% in just 12 minutes [4]. Group 3: Model Performance - Various BYD models, including the Yangwang U7, Seal 07, and Dolphin 06, achieved charging times under 11 minutes to reach 97% [6]. - Specific charging times for different models include: Yangwang U7 at 10 minutes 29 seconds, Seal 07 at 10 minutes 36 seconds, and Dolphin 06 at 10 minutes 44 seconds [7]. Group 4: Energy Efficiency - The decision to charge only up to 97% leaves a 3% buffer for regenerative braking, which helps reduce vehicle energy consumption [8]. Group 5: Charging Infrastructure - BYD plans to establish 20,000 fast-charging stations nationwide by the end of 2026, with 4,239 already built as of March 5, 2026, and an additional 1,000 fast-charging stations set to be completed by May 1, 2026 [9]. Group 6: Sales Performance - In 2025, BYD's global sales reached 4.602 million units, a year-on-year increase of 7.7%, with pure electric vehicle sales exceeding 2.25 million units, marking a 28% increase and surpassing Tesla's sales of 1.64 million units during the same period [10].
