Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) manufacturer Build Your Dreams (BYD) is in plans to introduce a battery that would provide a range of 1000 km on a full charge which could come with the second generation of Blade batteries. This, if materializes in reality will be one of the biggest innovations in the industry.
According to reports, the high-range battery will come as part of BYD’s second-generation battery. The first-generation battery stressed strong safety protocols while the succeeding one will focus on providing customers with relief with the short range of EVs. Not to mention, this would significantly bolster BYD cars‘ presence and market value globally.
If owners of electric cars or vehicles in general are concerned, it has to be about the range hence the term range anxiety. Although eco-friendly vehicles are becoming more and more popular each day, the lack of powerful and sustainable batteries continues to be a downsize. Thanks to innovative companies such as BYD though, improvement is occurring fast. BYD, already popular for its iconic Blade battery technology, could bring another solid innovation that could disrupt the industry and propel its position among EV makers globally.
