BYD Battery

The EV landscape is evolving fast and without any signs of slowing down. Advancements in battery technology are probably the most important part at the moment. According to the latest reports, BYD will unveil its next-generation Blade battery in 2025. The company promises significant improvements in the range and extended life cycle of the battery.

Cao Shuang, managing director of BYD Central Asia in the European Auto Sales Division, revealed the news in an interview with CGTN during COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. He confirmed that the new battery would increase the driving distance of BYD EVs and prolong the battery's lifespan. This is achieved through a focus on battery life cycle management and collaborations with partners to develop battery reuse systems for applications like energy storage.

BYD's next-gen Blade battery is coming next year

The first-generation Blade battery was launched in March 2020. It uses a lithium iron phosphate chemistry known for its improved durability and safety. It's currently used across BYD's entire NEV model lineup.

BYD hasn't updated the Blade battery in recent years, but competitors like CATL have launched new battery products with charging multiples of up to 5 C. Rumors suggest that BYD's second-generation blade battery could launch in the second half of 2025, with a 6C battery in development.

There's also speculation that BYD's luxury sub-brand, Yangwang, will feature the second-generation blade battery in its U7 sedan. This battery is rumored to have a charging multiplier of more than 5.5 C and a discharging multiplier of more than 14 C. The Yangwang U7 comes with over 1,000 horsepower and a price tag in the RMB 1 million ($138,000) range.
