Blade 2.0 BYD: the new battery set to transform electric mobility in 2025

The second generation of BYD’s LFP battery, Blade 2.0, promises greater range, extended lifespan and unrivalled safety. Its structure can withstand temperatures above 300°C without catching fire, setting a new benchmark in battery technology. But more importantly: this innovation doesn’t just improve electric vehicles, it also drives the need to rethink the charging infrastructure, a field in which V2C is leading the way.

What is the Blade 2.0 BYD battery?

The Blade 2.0 is an evolution of BYD’s lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that enhances energy density, thermal resistance, and longevity. It eliminates controversial materials like nickel and cobalt while offering up to 690 km of range and over 3,000 charge cycles with minimal degradation.

Key features of the new Blade 2.0

• LFP technology: free of cobalt and nickel

• Increased range: up to 690 km in urban driving

• Ultra-fast charging: versions up to 8C

• Lifespan: over 1.2 million kilometres

• Advanced safety: passed extreme puncture, impact and heat tests

What improvements does the Blade 2.0 bring compared to the previous version?

The most significant upgrade is a 40% increase in energy density, allowing for a lighter and more compact battery without sacrificing performance. In addition, manufacturing costs have dropped by 15%, helping to make electric mobility more accessible.

• Reduced size and weight
• Enhanced thermal resistance
• More efficient charging and discharging
• New structural blade-shaped design

Why is the Blade 2.0 BYD battery the safest on the market?

At V2C, we know that energy safety starts with the battery — but also extends to the charging point. The Blade 2.0 has passed rigorous tests, including:

• Nail penetration test: no combustion
• High-drop impact test
• Salt water immersion
• Mechanical crush test

This ensures safe performance even in the most extreme conditions.

What is the real-world range of the Blade 2.0 BYD?

Thanks to highly efficient energy conversion, the Blade 2.0 delivers up to 20% more driving range than the previous version. It also maintains performance from -35°C to 55°C.

• Reduced energy loss
• Greater efficiency in city driving
• High performance in extreme temperatures

What are the technical specifications that set the Blade 2.0 apart?

BYD will offer two versions tailored to different market demands:

Short Blade 2.0

• Energy density: 160 Wh/kg
• Discharge rate: 16C
• Charging rate: up to 8C

Long Blade 2.0

• Energy density: up to 210 Wh/kg
• Discharge rate: 8C
• Charging rate: up to 3C

A flexible architecture for a fast-changing market.

Will the Blade 2.0 BYD battery lower the cost of electric cars?

Yes. Thanks to more efficient production, the final vehicle cost could drop by up to 15%, without compromising on quality or performance.

What is the lifespan of the Blade 2.0 battery?

Designed to exceed 1.2 million kilometres or 3,000 charge cycles, the Blade 2.0 is perfect for long-distance drivers and professional fleets.

V2C tip: Install a fast home charger to get the most out of this technology.

How does the Blade 2.0 impact the sustainability of electric vehicles?

• Free from critical metals like nickel and cobalt
• Lower carbon footprint in manufacturing
• Highly recyclable
• Reduced weight and volume

How does it differ from other LFP batteries?

• Internal blade-like structure
• Higher energy density
• Greater heat resistance
• Improved fast-charging capability

When will it be available in Europe?

According to BYD, the Blade 2.0 will be released in Europe in mid-2025, initially fitted in BYD models. At V2C, we are already preparing to integrate it into our advanced charging solutions.

Is the Blade 2.0 compatible with electric motorbikes or hybrid cars?

Electric motorbikes: Not yet, though it may be suitable for compact scooters in the future.
Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs): Yes. Its longevity and advanced thermal management make it ideal for premium hybrid vehicles.
