So how is it possible and when and where will UK drivers benefit? Firstly, BYD has developed a new station capable of 1500kW of charging power through a single cable (with a Chinese market connector) and secondly, a new lithium iron phosphate (LFP) Blade battery with increased energy density and ability to recharge at a wider range of temperatures. At BYD\u2019s Shenzen HQ we also witnessed a frosty Denza Z9 GT in a car-sized freezer cabinet refuel almost as quickly at -30\u00b0 C (pictured above). Impressive stuff.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But how will the UK\u2019s sometimes less than fabulous grid cope with such electricity plundering? \u2018The beauty of our Flash charging stations is the battery storage that comes with it, which is again a BYD product,\u2019 explains Alfredo Altavilla, BYD\u2019s European market special advisor. \u2018BYD is the world\u2019s leading manufacturer of solar panels and the second-largest producer of battery storage. Our Flash charging stations can recharge at [higher] speed even though we might be sourcing under 150 kilowatts from the grid.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, there will be only one model that can charge that fast for a while \u2013 the would-be Porsche Taycan bothering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-reviews\/denza\/z9-gt-wagon\/\">Denza Z9 GT<\/a> due this winter. To help sales of that circa \u00a3100k EV (a \u00a395k PHEV will also be offered), UK owners will get 18 months of free charging. More fast-charging models will follow. Meanwhile, existing BYD customers with first-gen Blade batteries will also get preferential charging rates.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/266633\/480x0\/byd-flash-charging-21.jpg?scale=down\" alt class=\"wp-image-266636\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/266633\/480x0\/byd-flash-charging-21.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/266633\/720x0\/byd-flash-charging-21.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/266633\/1040x0\/byd-flash-charging-21.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Owners of non-BYD cars are also welcome to charge at the BYD-branded Flash charging stations, but their vehicles will take longer than five-to-nine minutes to fill up, as BYD\u2019s Altavilla points out: \u2018Our customers will enjoy the benefit of a 1000-volt electric architecture and therefore charge faster. If you have an 800-volt architecture vehicle it will take slightly longer. And if you have a 400-volt electric architecture, it\u2019s going to take twice as long, but that\u2019s not our fault.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Should BYD\u2019s Flash charging only be used for special occasions (or drastic emergencies) to avoid reduced range over time? Apparently not. \u2018A key reason our Blade Battery 2.0 is able to accept such high charging speeds is its reduced internal resistance relative to previous Blade Battery technology,\u2019 says a BYD UK spokesperson. \u2018This reduces friction \u2013 and therefore temperature \u2013 while charging. Along with active battery cooling, repeated \u2018Flash charges\u2019 are possible without any significant degradation.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Many of the Flash 300 chargers in the UK will be at new Denza and existing BYD dealerships \u2013 about 40 existing sites already have the right infrastructure\u2013 but locations alongside other charging providers are also planned.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, will customers pay through the nose for a fast Flash charge? \u2018Prices will depend on commercial agreements with existing charge point operators,\u2019 adds the BYD UK PR spokesperson. \u2018While we may want to target, for example, 50p per kWh for all customers, if an existing charging operator charges 79p on the site, we will need to find a solution that keeps all parties happy.\u2019<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<aside class=\"about-author\">\n<h2 class=\"about-author-heading\">About the author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"about-author-inner\">\n<div class=\"main-author-summary-container\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"main-author-image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/author\/guy-bird\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/14272\/120x120\/guy_bird_2.jpeg?quality=90)\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"main-author-name-container\">\n<div class=\"main-author-name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/author\/guy-bird\/\">Guy Bird<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"main-author-job-title\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"main-author-byline\">Guy is CAR magazine&#8217;s design editor and cultural commentator, and is predictably well connected in the world of car designers and styling departments.
