Tech Tonic | BYD’s ultra-fast EV charging tech will need infrastructure support

10 minute grocery deliveries. BYD’s Blade Battery, first introduced in 2020, is built on lithium iron phosphate chemistry, a composition that imbibes more thermal stability and safety. BYD plans to build over 4,000 high-speed charging stations across China, and once that’s ready, you’ve got an ecosystem primed to make five-minute charging a reality. Battery degradation under repeated ultra-fast charging also needs real-world validation; lab claims don’t always translate to daily use. Different contours in Europe and the U.S., where charging infrastructure still doesn’t prioritise speed over volume, BYD’s push might spur quick investments in ultra-fast networks.
