Musk also has his eyes on blade batteries. It is reported that Tesla has reached a supply agreement with BYD

Recently, foreign media reported that it has been confirmed by many informed sources that starting from the second quarter of next year, Tesla will be equipped with BYD's "blade battery". Currently, some Tesla models using "blade batteries" have entered the C-type testing stage.

At present, Tesla has not responded to the news, and BYD said "no comment".

The "blade battery" is a special blade-shaped packaged lithium iron phosphate battery produced by BYD. Compared with traditional packaging methods and ternary lithium batteries, it has higher safety and has breakthroughs in manufacturing technology and high-temperature "ceramic battery" technology.

In terms of safety, blade batteries can maintain a smokeless and flameless state after being punctured. The "blade battery" using the stacking process can achieve higher energy density, improve the inherent consistency problem of lithium iron phosphate, and is more suitable for high-power discharge.

At the same time, the high-temperature resistant insulating high-temperature ceramic coating used in key parts of the "blade battery" allows it to achieve 4,500 charging cycles and a battery life of no more than 20% after traveling 1.2 million kilometers.

Against the backdrop of global power battery shortages, Tesla, in addition to stepping up its own research and development of battery technology, is also actively and extensively cooperating with the world's top battery companies. In June this year, Tesla also signed a contract with CATL, and will obtain the latter's supply of lithium-ion power battery products from January next year to the end of 2025.
