BYD is rapidly scaling its “flash charge” ecosystem across multiple vehicle segments, leveraging its second-generation Blade battery and high-voltage architectures to promise ultra-fast recharge times and long CLTC ranges. New and upcoming models—from the premium Denza N9 Flash Charge and Ocean-series flagship Seal 08 to the mass-appeal Datang EV—combine flash-charge-capable battery packs, high-power motors, advanced chassis systems (rear-wheel steering, adaptive air suspension) and upgraded sensor/AI stacks. BYD pairs performance (sub-4s 0–100 km/h) with practical ranges and charging benefits, aiming to make fast, convenient electric driving a mainstream reality across BEV and PHEV offerings.
Singer and actor Wang Leehom announced on Weibo that he is the global brand ambassador for Denza (腾势) and will appear May 18 at the launch of the Denza N9 Flash Charge edition. The N9 Flash Charge ships with a second-generation blade battery, 420 km pure-electric CLTC range, and 18 months of free flash charging. It keeps the current exterior language with a closed front end, split matrix headlights, AGS active grille, and 22-inch forged wheels. Specs list dimensions of 5258×2030×1830 mm, 3125 mm wheelbase, and standard ADAS and AI features: “Tianshen Eye 5.0” with reinforced learning, a new AI cockpit powered by a large AI model, and the “Yi Sanfang” system offering advanced steering, crab-walk, evasive stability, and slippery-road protections. The model is priced around CNY 450–500k in previews.
BYD’s Denza N9 Flash Charge edition will debut on May 18 with a pre-sale price range of ¥450,000–¥500,000. The model features BYD’s second-generation Blade battery (75 kWh) with a CLTC pure-electric range of 420 km and an 18-month free fast-charging benefit. Flash charging enables “5-minute top-up, 9-minute full” claims, with only a 3-minute penalty at −30°C. The N9 Flash Charge keeps the current styling, 22-inch forged wheels, and expands tech with the ‘Tianshen Eye 5.0’ perception stack plus reinforcement learning, a next-gen AI cockpit powered by a large model, and the ‘Yi Sanfang’ chassis-suite enabling advanced maneuvers and stability features. Performance includes a 680 kW motor setup and 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.
BYD has filed its first fast-charging plug-in hybrid SUV, the Seal 08, in China’s vehicle approval list. Revealed at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, the Seal 08 is positioned as a flagship six-seat SUV in BYD’s Ocean series, featuring flash-charge tech, second-generation blade battery, dual-chamber air suspension (Yundian A), rear-wheel steering, and Taishen Eye 5.0. The model comes in BEV and PHEV variants: BEV ranges up to 900 km CLTC with motor outputs up to 370 kW (single) or combined motors (front 215 kW/rear 370 kW); the PHEV uses a 1.5T engine (115 kW) plus 200 kW front/rear motors and a 400 km pure-electric CLTC range. Dimensions: 5115/1999/1800 mm, 3030 mm wheelbase.
BYD’s new flagship D-segment EV SUV, the Datang EV, has surpassed 100,000 pre-sale orders after opening reservations at the Beijing Auto Show with a price range of ¥250,000–¥320,000. The seven-seat 2+2+3 SUV features BYD’s second-generation Blade battery, a 1,000V high-voltage architecture, single- or dual-motor (4WD) powertrains — the 4WD does 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds — and a claimed CLTC range up to 950 km. It supports BYD’s high-rate “flash charge” tech with a 10C battery and up to 1,000 kW peak charging potential, and includes advanced chassis and comfort features like rear-wheel steering, adaptive air suspension, multiple entertainment screens and zero-gravity front seats. The model is due to launch in H1 2026.
