The ternary battery will catch fire after being pierced by a nail, but the blade battery will not。It is believed that the second-generation blade battery will not only increase the energy density, but also optimize the size, weight and power consumption of the battery pack to further improve the cruising range and performance of electric vehicles。Ultimately, it should lead to cheaper electric vehicles and help BYD achieve its goal of selling new energy vehicles at prices lower than traditional fuel-powered vehicles, and give BYD a further advantage in the price war。Battery packs will be smaller and lighter, which will mean lower costs。In addition, because backpacks take up less space, there is more space for passengers in the car。BYD followed up with the release of the fifth-generation DM-i plug-in hybrid power system, which will enable the car's comprehensive cruising range to reach nearly 2,000 kilometers。Source: Fast Tech</p>
