The event is expected to focus on several core technologies, including Megawatt Flash Charging 2.0, the second-generation Blade Battery, the DM-i 6.0 hybrid system and God’s Eye5.0 intelligent driving. According to domestic media reports, BYD will hold a technology launch event on March 5, coinciding with the traditional Jingzhe solar term, under the theme “Scare Out.” The title mirrors a recently released film of the same name, in which BYD’s full vehicle lineup appears. BYD’s car in the film “Scare Out” Amid recent large-scale deployment of megawatt-level flash charging stations and ongoing technical developments, the event is expected to focus on several core technologies. They include Megawatt Flash Charging 2.0, the second-generation Blade Battery, the DM-i 6.0 hybrid system and God’s Eye (DiPilot) 5.0 intelligent driving. Since Tuesday this week, BYD has begun installing megawatt flash charging piles in multiple locations. The new-generation units feature a cyan exterior and T-shaped structure, with charging cables suspended from both ends of the top via a sliding rail system designed to reduce ground drag and operational strain. Megawatt Flash Charging 2.0 According to company plans, BYD aims to build 4,000 megawatt flash charging stations by 2026. The next-generation fully liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging system is expected to see a peak power upgrade, with main unit capacity potentially reaching 2.1 MW and single-gun output up to 1,500 kW. The system is designed to deliver up to 400 kilometers of range in five minutes and will be compatible across vehicle platforms. On the battery front, the second-generation Blade Battery is anticipated to receive performance enhancements. First introduced in March last year, the battery features an energy density of 190 Wh/kg, supports 1,000 V high-voltage platforms and enables charging rates of up to 10C. In combination with megawatt-level charging infrastructure, high-voltage architecture and battery performance are likely to be central themes of the launch. In hybrid technology, the DM-i 6.0 system is expected to be another highlight. Market sources indicate that under CLTC standards, pure electric range could reach 300 kilometers, representing an increase of approximately 50% over the current generation. BYD’s fifth DM-i technology On intelligent driving, God’s Eye is also expected to receive an upgrade to version 5.0. The system has already been deployed in 2.56 million vehicles and generates 160 million kilometers of real-world driving data per day. Its technical pathway emphasizes end-to-end large models, reinforcement learning and closed-loop training, evolving from function-based assistance toward self-learning capabilities. Official data show that BYD sold 210,051 new energy vehicles in January, down 30.11% year on year and 49% month on month. At last year’s shareholder meeting, Chairman Wang Chuanfu acknowledged that phased sales pressure was partly linked to a narrowing of the company’s technological lead.
