Electric vehicle batteries running 600km
Released in June as Wang Chuan-fu, chairman of BYD, said, "Blade Battery," which can run 600 kilometers on a single charge, has entered mass production phase," according to China's Zhongguo Zheng Bao. According to BYD, the battery has a capacity of 600 kilometers per charge, while reducing the utilization rate of battery space to the current 40 percent
It uses LFP (Litium Iron Phosphate) materials to enhance safety.
Blade batteries are produced at BYD's Chongqing plant and are already in the mass production phase. BYD explained that several eco-friendly car models are currently working with BYD to supply the blade batteries.
Related data show that the cost of a battery system accounts for 30 to 40 percent of the cost of a single electric vehicle. This makes the battery system's performance critical, such as life, heat, stability and environment. In recent years, lithium iron phosphate batteries have lost ground on NCM lithium batteries. However, BYD has improved its lithium iron phosphate battery further, overcoming disadvantages in its range and lowering costs.

In a safety test, Villadi said that while surface temperatures soared to more than 500 degrees Celsius as NCM lithium batteries showed temperature changes at the moment of penetration, fires began as the existing lithium-ferrous phosphate batteries only smoked without ignition and had a surface temperature of 200-400 degrees, and that the improved blade batteries in BYD had no surface temperature between 30 and 60 degrees even after penetration.
BYD's electric vehicle model will be introduced in June this year.
"Blade batteries will be used in BYD's 'HAN' model of C-class sedan," said Wang Chuan-fu, president of BYD, who attended the announcement of BYD's propaganda on the 29th. "The model will be produced in June this year at 600 kilometers per hour and will accelerate 100 km per hour from a standstill in 3.9 seconds."
