BYD unveiled its "second-generation blade battery" and "FLASH charging technology" on March 6, 2026, to address the charging speed limit and low-temperature performance degradation of electric vehicles. The second-generation blade battery can be charged in 9 minutes from 10% to 70% of the remaining battery capacity, and 97% of the battery capacity can be charged in 9 minutes, breaking a new world record. It has low-temperature performance with only 3 minutes difference from room temperature in charging from 20% to 97% even in extreme conditions of minus 30 degrees Celsius.
BYD has reduced charging speed by increasing energy density by 5% compared to the first generation, while the Denja Z9GT with a second-generation blade battery has achieved a driving range of 1,036 kilometers. In order to secure safety, lithium ion high-speed passages and omnidirectional intelligent thermal management systems were introduced to minimize internal heat generation and increase heat dissipation efficiency.
The FLASH charger, which was unveiled together, supports a single connector output of 1,500 kW and is designed to prevent power grid overload by combining it with a large-capacity energy storage device. For user convenience, the world's first T-shaped pulley method and zero gravity design are applied to eliminate the weight burden of cables and maintain cleanliness. BYD plans to build 20,000 FLASH charging stations in China by the end of 2026 and distribute them to the global market.
BYD started as a battery company in 1994 and is currently engaged in electronics, automotive, renewable energy, and light rail businesses. It sold 4.27 million eco-friendly cars globally in 2024, and invested about $7.46 billion in R&D in the same year. As of March 2025, it has applied for more than 62,000 patents and has more than 120,000 research personnel.
BYD Korea, a Korean corporation, was established in 2016 and has been in the commercial vehicle business, officially launching a passenger electric vehicle brand in Korea in January 2025 and expanding its lineup such as Ato 3, Seal, C-Rion 7, and Dolphin. It currently operates 32 exhibition halls and 17 service centers in Korea.
