While further research and scaling up of production are necessary, this novel anode material offers a tantalizing glimpse into a future where EVs charge as quickly as filling a gas tank, and batteries last significantly longer.

“The realization of an anode with simultaneously high power, stability, and energy density, along with its compatibility with sodium-ion systems, marks a turning point in the rechargeable battery market,” concluded Dr. Gyujin Song of KIER.

The Sealion 07 prioritizes safety with a high-strength body structure, BYD’s Blade Battery for enhanced thermal stability, and 10 standard airbags. It also features advanced driver assistance systems, including IPB intelligent power braking, driver monitoring, and a 360° high-definition panoramic imaging system with transparent view technology.

The Blade Battery, developed in-house, reflects BYD’s strong focus on research and development. Designed for safety, durability, and efficiency, the Blade Battery is more space-efficient than traditional batteries. Its cells are installed directly into the pack, allowing more cells to fit into the same space, resulting in a slim pack that maximizes cabin space in the vehicle.

Additionally, the company notes that the Blade Battery uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) instead of conventional lithium-ion, which offers better safety and durability and is completely free of cobalt, addressing ethical and environmental concerns linked to mining.
