BYD today unveiled the 2nd GenerationBlade Battery and FLASH Charging Technology, directly addressing two of the mostpersistent obstacles for electric vehicles: slow charging speeds and poorlow-temperature charging performance. With these breakthroughs, BYD sets a new world record for charging speed, goingfrom 10% to 70% State of Charge (SOC) in just 5 minutes, meanwhile reaching 97%in only 9 minutes. Even in extreme low temperatures, such as -30°C, the chargingduration from 20% to 97% increases by merely 3 minutes compared to roomtemperature.
