Overview
- The third‑generation platform upgrades drive, charging, power distribution and HVAC to 1,000 volts and debuts on the 11‑meter C11.
- BYD highlights a 1,500‑volt silicon carbide power chip, a 1,000‑volt electric drive axle and a seven‑in‑one thermal system that can cut energy use by up to 18% at −15°C.
- Cell‑to‑chassis Blade LFP packs offer five capacities from 184 to 593 kWh with CLTC ranges of 220–730 km (136–453 miles), and BYD claims ten‑layer protection rated to withstand a 50‑ton truck.
- Safety and ride tech include a millisecond‑response flat‑tire stability system, Driver Disability Assistance System 2.0 for passenger‑initiated stopping and optional DiSus‑A adaptive suspension.
- BYD has not provided a 10–80% fast‑charge time for the largest battery or a timeline for international rollout, and U.S. adoption remains unconfirmed despite its California bus factory.
