BYD has launched the Song Ultra EV, equipping the mid-size electric SUV with its second-generation Blade Battery and high-speed flash charging technology as standard across all variants.
The BYD Song Ultra EV starts at 151,900 yuan ($21,980), below its earlier presale price of 155,000 yuan, as the company intensifies competition in China’s crowded EV market.

The model measures 4,850 mm in length with a 2,840 mm wheelbase and is offered with two driving range options of 605 km and 710 km under CLTC conditions. It is powered by a rear-mounted electric motor delivering 270 kW, with a top speed of 210 km/h.
A key feature of the vehicle is its ultra-fast charging capability. BYD said the battery can be charged from 10% to 70% in approximately five minutes under standard conditions, while reaching 97% charge takes about nine minutes. Even in temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius, charging time increases only slightly.
