As one of the world’s leading electric vehicle manufacturers, BYD continues to raise the bar with cutting-edge innovations that challenge the status quo of automotive engineering. From game-changing battery advancements to intelligent platform architecture, BYD is not just building EVs, it’s reshaping the entire electric driving experience.

Super e-Platform: Charging Reinvented

BYD’s latest innovation, the Super e-Platform, is a monumental leap forward in EV technology. This ultra-high-voltage charging architecture boasts an astonishing 1,000V, 1,000kW capacity, enabling vehicles to gain up to 250 miles (approx. 400km) of range in just five minutes. That’s nearly petrol pump-level convenience. The platform harnesses silicon carbide power chips and integrates seamlessly with BYD’s acclaimed Blade Battery, offering enhanced thermal management, efficiency, and charging speed. With plans to roll out over 4,000 flash-charging stations across China, BYD is paving the way for faster, more practical EV adoption globally.

Blade Battery: A Benchmark for Safety and Longevity

At the heart of BYD’s innovation is the Blade Battery, a revolutionary lithium iron phosphate (LFP) design introduced in 2020. Its slim, elongated cell structure allows for over 50% better space utilisation and significantly improved safety performance. The Blade Battery passed the notoriously strict Nail Penetration Test without igniting or emitting smoke, something most traditional lithium-ion batteries fail to achieve. With a long cycle life, high structural integrity, and low risk of thermal runaway, it’s no surprise this battery powers many of BYD’s flagship models.
