    Can you help me out and name the specific car, that one can actually buy, that charges in 5 min? I’m not seeing it.

      “The primary car currently demonstrating and utilizing this technology is the Denzan Z9 GT (a luxury high-performance shooting brake). When plugged into these flash chargers, it can go from 10% to roughly 70-100% battery in just 5 to 9 minutes.

      Other upcoming and current BYD-family vehicles confirmed to support this 1,500 kW ultra-rapid charging capability include:
      Yangwang U7
      Denza N9
      Fangchengbao Tai 3
      Seal 07 EV
      Song Ultra”

        Denzan Z9 GT

        The version of this car you can actually buy has a 100kWh battery and a peak charge rate of 270kW, which gives it a 10%-70% of 15min. And that is only if we go with the hilariously unrealistic assumption it stays at peak charge rate the whole time.

        This is what I’m talking about. The car they are boasting about is not something you can actually buy. Donut Labs also has batteries with amazing and mystical properties that turn out to be normal ass batteries when you actually get ahold of them.

          That is old news. It now has the second gen Blade 2.0 battery.

          “The BYD Denza Z9 GT officially debuted with and received the second-generation Blade Battery in March 2026, when BYD unveiled the new battery and its ‘Flash Charging’ technology.”

      The article this post is about includes this:

      “The second-generation Blade battery is also a particularly good fit for the Canadian market. BYD claims it can charge from 10% to 70% in about 5 minutes even at -20°C (-4°F)”
