Linghui e7 hits the market with 10-minute recharge for app drivers

Linghui, a BYD subsidiary specializing in mobility, started selling the e7 electric sedan this Wednesday with a starting price of approximately US$13,900. The model stands out for its ability to completely recharge the battery in around 10 minutes, a solution specifically aimed at reducing downtime for ride-hailing drivers. The technology integrates the second generation of Blade Battery, developed by the Chinese manufacturer itself.

Ultra-fast Recarga in less than ten minutes

The Linghui e7 can raise the power level from 10% to 97% in just 9 minutes when connected to high power stations. Para the individual transport sector, this efficiency allows the automobile to return to service almost immediately after a quick stop. The electrical architecture was designed to withstand high input powers without degrading cell life. The system reaches 70% charge, starting from 10%, in just 5 minutes, putting the model in the spotlight compared to competitors that require longer periods connected to the network.

The thermal efficiency of the battery pack has been tested in extreme weather scenarios to ensure viability in different global markets. Mesmo under severe negative temperatures, up to -30°C, the waiting time for recharging increases by a few minutes compared to performance in temperate climates. Essa technical stability is essential for operation in regions with harsh winters, where conventional electric vehicles tend to suffer a significant loss of performance.

Expansão aggressive charging network

The commercial viability of the e7 directly depends on the availability of chargers that support ultra-fast charging technology. BYD has accelerated the installation of proprietary charging terminals with ambitious goals for the coming months:

• 4,239 fast charging stations in operation by March 2026.
• Previsão to reach 20 thousand charging points by the end of 2026.
• Implementação of ultra-high power chargers compatible with the new Blade Battery.
• Parcerias strategic for installation in logistics and urban transport centers.
• Sistemas thermal management system to protect vehicles during high voltage sessions.

Strategic planning indicates that the brand intends to quintuple the number of supply points in less than a year. Esse movement aims to reduce drivers’ range anxiety and ensure that the 10-minute charge differential is usable in practice. Até At the moment, the operation of fast stations is concentrated in large urban centers, but the target of 20 thousand points provides for more comprehensive coverage.

Functional Design and optimized internal space

The Linghui e7 follows its own visual identity called “Innate Smile”, which uses curved frontal lines to convey a friendly expression. The optical assembly is fully equipped with LED technology, and the model is available in gray, white and beige. Apesar focuses on functionality for work, the aesthetic seeks to move away from the merely industrial aspect, adopting a modern and fluid look.

Occupant comfort is a central pillar of the project, given that the car was designed for the app transport segment. With a wheelbase of 2,820 mm and a total length of 4,780 mm, the interior space prioritizes those traveling in the rear seat. The 1,900 mm width contributes to the accommodation of three passengers with greater ergonomics. The internal configuration was planned to withstand intense daily use, with finishing materials that facilitate constant maintenance and cleaning.

Commercial Estratégia for urban fleets in 2026

With an aggressive price below US$ 14 thousand and the promise of recharging in record time, the Linghui seeks to consolidate the e7 as the main choice for renewing application fleets. The commercial strategy aligns competitive hardware costs with operational practicality for urban fleets. The company confirmed that new stations will be equipped with advanced management systems to protect vehicles during high-voltage sessions, ensuring durability and operational reliability.
