The revolutionary BYD Blade Battery is awarded ‘Innovation of the Year 2024’ by a leading authority on electric vehicles in the UK.

The BYD Blade Battery's revolutionary design incorporates a unique blade-like structure, which not only improves thermal management but also significantly reduces the risk of combustion and other safety hazards associated with traditional EV batteries. 

Electrifying.com and its expert panel of judges awarded the accolade to BYD in acknowledgment of the innovative features and advancements introduced by the BYD Blade Battery.

The BYD Blade Battery boasts an impressive energy density, providing electric vehicles with an extended driving range on a single charge. This advancement is pivotal in promoting widespread EV adoption and reducing dependence on traditional fossil fuels.

 The BYD Blade Battery has demonstrated exceptional durability, outperforming conventional batteries in extensive testing. The extended lifespan contributes to lower overall costs and a more sustainable approach to EV ownership.

Another unique selling point of the blade battery – which actually looks like a blade – is that it uses lithium iron-phosphate (LFP) as the cathode material, which offers a much higher level of safety than conventional lithium-ion batteries. 

LFP naturally has excellent thermal stability and is substantially cobalt free. LFP is also a very durable material.
