The Chinese Tech Giant and Global Leader in Electric Vehicles, BYD, Announced the Second Generation of the Blade Battery, V2. This New Technology Promises to Be a Major Advancement in Terms of Range, Performance, and Cost.

The revelation was made by BYD’s CEO, Wang Chanfu, during a financial results meeting. The new battery, called Blade V2, is expected to be launched in August 2024. BYD, founded in 1995, initially manufactured rechargeable batteries for cell phones.

Since then, the company has become a leader in the automotive, electronics, renewable energy, and rail sectors. Among its most notable innovations is the Blade battery, first introduced in March 2020. These batteries are made from lithium iron phosphate (LFP), which eliminates the need for nickel, cobalt, and manganese, common materials in other lithium-ion batteries.

LFP Batteries Have Lower Energy Density Than NMC Batteries (Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt), but Offer Several Advantages

They are cheaper, have a longer life cycle (up to 5,000 charge and discharge cycles), and a greater charging capacity. The structure of the Blade battery cells consists of long blades aligned crosswise, optimizing space by more than 50% compared to conventional batteries.

BYD Has Already Subjected the Blade V2 Battery to Rigorous Endurance Testing

In a nail penetration test, the battery did not emit smoke or catch fire, reaching a temperature of 30 to 60 °C. In comparison, an NMC battery under the same conditions exceeded 500 °C and caught fire instantly.

With the new generation of batteries, BYD’s electric vehicles could achieve a range of up to 1,000 km on a single charge. The energy density will be raised from 140 Wh/kg to 190 Wh/kg, a significant leap that will allow for this increased range.

Currently, BYD’s Electric Vehicles Sold in Brazil Have a Range of Between 350 and 400 km

The new Blade battery will allow for a more spacious car interior, as it will take up less space. Moreover, smaller and lighter batteries mean less material used and lower production costs, which could make electric vehicles more affordable for consumers. The launch of the Blade V2 is expected in August 2024, marking a significant advancement for BYD and the electric vehicle market.

Não entendi; dencidade energética 140, a nova geração 190 ( V2), significa um aumeto de automia de quase 36%, exemplo: atual 400km, nova 444km de automia. Ainde vc encontrou 1000km ? ( 100% a 125%)

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

End of bricklayers laying brick by brick: robot places more than 2,000 bricks per day, automatically applies cement, works with only one human operator next to the machine, and transforms traditional masonry into a high-speed semi-automated operation.

Philippines begin construction of the country’s largest desalination plant in a city without enough fresh water to grow, and the 66,500 m³ per day plant will transform the sea into drinking water for 50,000 homes in 24 months with reverse osmosis technology from SUEZ and JEMCO.

Scientists have discovered that the Earth recycles its own continents in the depths, dragging pieces of crust down during plate collisions and returning them later as magma, in a mechanism called relamination that has helped build the continents for billions of years.

Nissan sells “Kicks popular” cheaper than Kwid, Mobi, and C3 in Brazil; for about R$ 30,000 in conversion without taxes, Magnite looks like a compact SUV, with 16-inch wheels, 6 airbags starting from the Visia version, and represents an affordable Nissan that disappeared from Brazilian stores.

During the construction of a cargo terminal in the Northeast, workers stumbled upon the bones of a long-necked dinosaur about 20 meters long that lived 120 million years ago.

China has put millions of electric cars on the roads, but now faces the side effect: more than 1 million tons of batteries are expected to go out of use per year by 2030, while the government expands tracking and combats illegal dismantling with environmental risks.

Without a windshield, without license plates, without headlights, and with the door tied with a rope, a truck was seized by the PRF on BR-316 using a drum as a fuel tank inside the cabin while transporting firewood in Pernambuco, and even the driver didn’t have a driver’s license.
