Charging speeds have significantly increased as a result of Tesla switching to BYD blade batteries for the Model Y electric crossovers built at the Berlin gigafactory.

Drivers on a German forum shared pictures of the charging curve on a new Model Y produced in Berlin with BYD lithium iron phosphate batteries and compared it to cars with the CATL-sourced batteries they replace.

Both the BYD blade battery and the Kirin battery from CATL are made of lithium iron phosphate (LFP), however, the BYD battery can charge at a faster rate over the full charging process.
