10–97% in nine minutes: BYD presents second generation of Blade Battery - electrive.com
www.electrive.com
The Chinese car and battery manufacturer BYD has unveiled the second generation of its Blade Battery in China, apparently designed for very high charging

“BYD also claims to have addressed the well-known issue of lithium iron phosphate cells losing performance in cold temperatures. After the cells were stored for 24 hours at –30 degrees Celsius and therefore completely frozen, charging from 20 to 97 per cent reportedly took just twelve minutes.”

As the US sabotages the globe’s fossil fuel infrastructure at the behest of Israel, China continues to build the future that will replace it. One by one, the naysayers’ objections to EVs melt away. Can’t do cold climates, they said - fixed. Can’t cope with long journeys, they said - fixed.

As Napoleon once famously observed, ‘never interrupt your enemy while they’re making a mistake’. China must be thinking that, as the US helps hand it total dominance of the 21st century energy infrastructure.

    Claims… Claims… Claims.

    Okay.

    Not saying they’re lying but… You know, Tesla, Elmo Musk, made claims after claims after lie after claim lie after… And none of it was true. The guy pretty much invented serial lying.

    So now when I see these extraordinary claims, I’m juuuuuuust a tiny teensie bit skeptical. I’ll believe it when an independent company verifies this, not a single second before

        Spoiler: musk didn’t invent serial lying but he is very good at it.

        There are others that are lying too. Possibly. Therefore: proof!

          Oh I was definitely being silly. I did read several other articles that all support the claims including people who have seen live demonstrations though.

          It is also not outside of the limit of current lithium ion pack technology. Remember that they have cell phones that charge at 240w. Also, as others pointed out, you would have to have a specialized charging station to charge this fast.

            Sure enough, not everyone lies insane amounts like Elmo

            But saying that this is true BECAUSE it’s not Tesla is not the right logic here

            For my part; I know that companies do tend to skew % and other things in their favor when they make bold claims. Also, it’s a Chinese company and ok sorry, but historically, those haven’t been the most trustworthy either

            So take that in one had, and extremely bold claims with zero evidence in another, I’m weighing that, and finding it insufficient.

            Hence, I’ll believe it when I see the actual evidence
