BYD releases Blade 2.0 with 5min charging & 600+miles range

shilly writes: BYD has released its newest LFP battery, which will launch in markets outside China this year in the Denza Z9GT, a high-end shooting brake EV. The new battery delivers range of 621 miles on the CLTC cycle (about 440 miles on the EPA), can charge at 1500MW, works well at very low temperatures, and is extremely thermally stable. BYD is also rolling out new "Flash" 1.5MW chargers with 20,000 being deployed globally this year.

(Speaking personally, I could think of nothing worse than driving 400 miles, stopping for only five minutes, and then driving another 300 miles, but this seems to be very important for some people).
