BYD put a number on the table at the Paris Motor Show that most EV makers would not dare: nine minutes. That is how long the automaker says its new Atto 8 needs to go from a near-empty battery to nearly full, provided you are plugged into the right charger.
The Atto 8 is BYD's first seven-seat electric flagship for Europe, built around a second-generation Blade battery rated at 115 kWh. It lands in European showrooms in the first quarter of 2027, and the specs underneath it are as aggressive as the charging claim.
