BYD released new battery

Should we just take your word for it or do you want to share the source with us?

Does any country besides China have BYD charging stations?

Bring BYD charging stations to Dubai that will work with any car, I’m so tired of Tesla Supercharger exclusivity

Might be problematic getting anything into dubai lately...

In Europe they have the commitment to deploy a lot of them in the coming 2 years

300x 1MW chargers being installed in the UK by the end of the year

The ones in the article are 1500 kW chargers.

Maybe next year if we're lucky, China will always get the best tech first. The 1mw ones were only released last year. First we actually need to get the cars that support 1mw charging. I think the Denza Z9 GT is supposed to be the first one to come

“Pushing the boundaries of safety” 🤨

The charging cables are the new CCS3 standard.  They have an additional hose to supply liquid nitrogen to the car.

“mw” ?

Short for megawatt, which is 1000kw

MW is abbreviation for Megawatt .

Do you mean kW ?

If you want to be that pedantic then yes.. MW and kW to be exact 😂

What's the density on the blade 2s

Frankly this is a bigger deal than the Donut Labs Vaporware. This is real, it works, it's a massive upgrade and it's going to be rolled out very soon.

What ppl didn't realize is that these cars have massively different battery sizes - yet they all ended up getting charged in similar amount of time, plus -30c charging didn't take much longer, all these point to one fact - they figured out how to do parallel charging to all battery cells evenly, so battery size is irrelevant in this case, no matter how large the battery is, it will be charged under 5 minutes to 70% and 9 to 97%. Honestly ICE car makers should be worried. They also apparently reduced the cost of blade II even further so they are equiping the low end cars with it too, all this is truly amazing and terrifying. In the meantime, other part of the world... nah let's not talk about that.

Where is the UK going to get a whole new power plant from?

Is this your biggest concern at the moment?

Lol guilty, found myself doom scrolling and this comment was on my mind 🤣 stay safe everyone

I believe they use huge batteries in those stations that fill themselves at a more reasonable rate, where the actual car charging is pulled from locally. Because pulling a megawatt directly to the car from the grid would cause too many problems.

Blade Battery can charge rapidly from 20% to 97% in under 12 minutes, that's insane comparing to what already exist !

All the best!

can the battery "blade 1.0" be changed with the new "blade 2.0" for old cars ?
