Blade Battery Set to Redefine EV Safety Standards
| Jerry Huang
Last week, BYD officially announced the launch of the Blade Battery, a development set to mitigate concerns about battery safety in electric vehicles.
At an online launch event themed “The Blade Battery – Unsheathed to Safeguard the World”, Wang Chuanfu, BYD Chairman and President, said that the Blade Battery reflects BYD’s determination to resolve issues in battery safety while also redefining safety standards for the entire industry. BYD highlighted a video of the Blade Battery successfully passing a nail penetration test, which is seen as the most rigorous way to test the thermal runaway of batteries due to its sheer difficulty. "In terms of battery safety and energy density, BYD’s Blade Battery has obvious advantages," said Professor Ouyang Minggao, Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Professor at Tsinghua University. The Han EV, BYD’s flagship sedan model slated for launch this June, will come equipped with the Blade Battery. The new model will lead the brand’s Dynasty Family, boasting a cruising range of 605 kilometers and an acceleration of 0 to 100km/h in just 3.9 seconds.
