Der chinesische Autohersteller BYD hat neue Batterie-Technologie vorgestellt, mit der EVs in 5 Minuten 470 Kilometer (292 Meilen) Reisen aufladen können.

Submission Statement

BYD must really be worrying the legacy car makers. Not only is this the new global standard in battery charging, they also recently made Level 2 self-driving a standard feature on all vehicles – [even the $9,500 Seagull. Some other auto-makers have been selling that as an expensive add-on.](https://futurology.today/post/3656598)

Chinese cars are now an existential threat to the older car makers, and they know it. This is having unintended consequences. Germany’s recent announcement of [€1 trillion in spending for military rearmament and infrastructure](https://www.dw.com/en/1-trillion-impact-what-easing-debt-brake-means-for-germany/a-71949959) is partially motivated by the need to retool the country’s declining industrial sector, which has long depended on the auto industry.

does not mean much if there is 1 charger every 1500 km. This needs to be combined with – and we will make „affordable“ charging in all cities or better. Not the – and only 1 charger at a single dealership – in all of the USA..

New battery technologies will be good for the entire market. Competition will catch up. The future looks bright for electrics cars

Electricbike dot com has a great article on BYD, and the batteries from CATL

The IS has surrendered tech superiority because of morons on the right
