        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 PT BYD Motor Indonesia has updated the BYD M6 EV\nwith second-generation Blade Battery technology, offering greater\ncapacity, range and vehicle performance, as well as hardware support for\nflash charging.<\/p>\n<p>PT BYD Motor Indonesia Head of Product Bobby Bharata said at a press\nconference in Jakarta on Tuesday (10 November) that the 2026 BYD M6 EV\nnow uses a 75.62 kWh battery, up from the previous model. The update\nenables the vehicle to travel up to 600 kilometres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the second-generation Blade Battery, we have increased the\ncapacity and power, and updated its acceleration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Another update is the vehicle\u2019s fast-charging capability, or flash\ncharging. All 2026 M6 EV units are hardware-compatible with the\ntechnology, which can be activated through a software update.<\/p>\n<p>The software update is available free of charge through BYD\u2019s\nshowroom network. Customers will also receive free fast-charging\nservices until the end of January 2027.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of safety and battery management, the second-generation\nBlade Battery is equipped with a Battery Management System (BMS)\nintegrated with battery temperature controls. The system automatically\nregulates the temperature when the battery heats up.<\/p>\n<p>BYD also said the battery\u2019s energy density had risen by around 5 per\ncent following structural and material upgrades. The company has also\ntested the battery\u2019s cycle capability to ensure its performance is\nmaintained when it receives high charging power.<\/p>\n<p>The instrument panel, previously analogue, has also been replaced\nwith a 10.25-inch LCD screen to give the cabin a more digital\nappearance.<\/p>\n<p>On the exterior, BYD has retained the M6 EV\u2019s main design, while\nchanging the styling of its 17-inch wheels. The colour options remain\nwhite, black, grey and blue.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 BYD M6 EV remains available in three variants: Standard,\nSuperior and Captain Seat. The model is priced from Rp395 million on the\nroad.<\/p>",
