Do you believe it? Just yesterday, it only took 9 minutes for a domestic electric car to go from having only 10% of the battery remaining to being almost 97% fully charged. It's not a concept car, it's not laboratory data, it's a mass-produced car that was just launched yesterday and can be bought for just over 150,000 yuan - the Fang Leopard Titanium 3 flash charging version.
This speed is shorter than the time it takes for many people to go downstairs to pick up express delivery or buy a bottle of water at a convenience store. The key is that it also brings this "refueling" fast charging experience directly to the 150,000 level. In the past, it was always thought that ultra-fast charging was exclusive to million-dollar luxury cars. Now BYD has flipped the table, allowing ordinary office workers and young families to enjoy the pleasure of "second charging".
The cruel thing is, if you buy this car, you will get one and a half years of free flash charging. Now that gas prices are so high, a tank of gas costs several hundred dollars. With the benefit of free charging, you may be able to save thousands of dollars a year. This is no longer a technological upgrade. It feels like BYD is "distributing benefits" to the entire electric vehicle market, and by the way, it is a h

With the benefit of free charging, you may be able to save thousands of dollars a year. This is no longer a technological upgrade. It feels like BYD is "distributing benefits" to the entire electric vehicle market, and by the way, it is a heavy blow to those who are still hesitant about the slow charging of electric vehicles.
Yesterday afternoon, the Fangbao press conference was very lively. The Titanium 3 flash charging version was officially launched, with two configurations, a rear-wheel drive version priced at 153,088, and a four-wheel drive version priced at 169,080. The price is quite accurate, as it is aimed at the most mainstream family SUV market. And I heard that just after the press conference, the first car was delivered directly to the user. This is called "delivery upon launch".
The biggest advantage of this "flash charging version" is that it charges quickly. The official data is that at normal temperature, it only takes 5 minutes to charge from 10% to 70%; it only takes 9 minutes to charge from 10% to 97%. Even in the winter of minus 30 degrees Celsius, charging from 20% to 97% only takes 3 minutes longer than normal temperature, turning it into 12 minutes. They summed up a jingle called "5 points are good, 9 points are full, and 3 points are cold", which means that it takes 5 minutes to charge the basic power, 9 minutes to eat, and only 3 minutes more in extremely cold weather.
The ability to achieve such speed relies on two things: BYD's second-generation blade battery and supporting flash charging technology. This second-generation blade battery was only officially released on March 5 this year, and it is BYD’s latest battery technology. The cathode material it uses is lithium manganese iron phosphate, which has a higher energy density than the first generation of lithium iron phosphate. The system energy density is said to reach 480 watt hours per kilogram. The battery itself supports high-voltage platforms of 800V or even 1000V, and the charging rate can reach 8C. To put it simply, the battery itself can absorb more charging power, and the heat dissipation is well controlled, so it can be so fast.
Just having a fast-charging battery is not enough, you must have a matching charging pile. BYD has built a special "flash charging station" for this purpose. As of March 12, they had 4,597 self-built flash charging stations. The peak power of the single-gun flash charging piles used in these stations can reach 1,500 kilowatts. And in order to prevent such high-power charging from impacting the power grid, each flash charging station is also equipped with a "super fast discharge energy storage system" to store electricity at night when power consumption is low and use it to charge cars during peak hours during the day.
These flash charging stations are not only located in cities, but also in some very special places. For example, at the foot of Mount Everest, there is the "Everest Town Flash Charging Station", which is said to be the highest altitude at present. There are also flash charging stations in the Hexi Corridor on the Silk Road. The meaning is obvious, and I am telling you that you don’t have to worry too much about recharging your energy when driving this car for long trips or self-driving trips.
Let’s talk about the car itself. The Titanium 3 flash charging version is based on the original regular version of Titanium 3. The regular version of Titanium 3 was launched in April last year, with a starting price of 133,080. The flash charging version mainly upgrades the battery and charging, and the appearance and interior have not changed much. It is a compact SUV in the shape of a "square box", with a length of 4.6 meters and a wheelbase of over 2.74 meters. The design style is mecha and tough, and there is a 28-liter external storage box at the rear of the car that looks like a "small school bag" on an off-road vehicle.
There is a 15.6-inch central control screen in the interior, which uses BYD's DiLink system. There are many interesting things in the configuration. For example, the car comes with a heating and cooling refrigerator, which can freeze drinks in the summer and keep them warm in the winter. The audio system is from the French Devialet brand and is also equipped with a car KTV microphone. There is even a heating function on the steering wheel, which is very friendly to northern users.
In terms of power, the flash charging version is also stronger than the regular version. The single motor used in the rear-wheel drive version has a maximum power of 240 kilowatts; the combined maximum power of the front and rear dual motors in the four-wheel drive version is 375 kilowatts. Because of the replacement of a larger second-generation Blade battery, the battery life has also been increased. The rear-wheel drive version of CLTC has a battery life of 620 kilometers and the four-wheel drive version has a range of 565 kilometers. For comparison, the ordinary version of Titanium 3 has a battery life of 501 kilometers.
Although this car looks like an urban SUV, it has plenty of off-road-related configurations. It has an intelligent all-terrain recognition system called iATS, which can automatically identify road conditions such as snow, sand, and mud, and then switch driving modes. There are also functions such as "Energy Three Locks", Trap Assistant, and Leopard U-turn. There is even a TSC high-speed tire puncture assist and stability control system. Officials say that even if a tire punctures at a speed of 140 kilometers, the system can quickly intervene to stabilize the car body.
In terms of intelligent driving, you can choose the "God's Eye B" assisted driving system, which is a high-end version with lidar. The standard equipment is the "God's Eye C" system, with 29 various sensors installed on the car.
In order to attract young people, Fangfangbao has played a lot of tricks in personalization. They have a "face-changing plan", which means that you can change the front face shape of the vehicle yourself through modular design, just like changing the cover of a mobile phone. This time the flash charging version also has a new exterior color called "Stardust Purple" and a "grey and blue" interior color. The official has also prepared 14 overall fashion modification plans and 16 light modification plans for the "little schoolbag" at the rear of the car.
Car owners who buy the flash charging version can enjoy the "Titanium Flash Charging Gift", which is the right to free flash charging. If a car is ordered before April 13 and delivered on time, the first owner can enjoy free flash charging for 18 months. This benefit is quite real, after all, fast charging is not cheap nowadays.
At last night's press conference, Fangbao also opened pre-orders for another larger model, the pure electric flash charging version of Titanium 7, with a pre-sale price of 220,000 to 250,000. It can be seen that flash charging technology will be fully rolled out in Fangbao’s “Titanium” series.
