Does this burning at 200 j/g really mean it would be a lot safer or do you chalk this up to be company propaganda. Clearly it is a lot lower than gasoline, but since 600-900 proved to still be an issue, could this be enough to stabilize people’s fears you think?
Planning? Cashgrab using marketing at worse, useless news at best as (it its true) then it will happen sooner or later.
BYD are a battery manufacturer that happened to break into the Car Market. One of the few EV manufacturers of trust with interesting battery news.
Wouldn’t “The company is planning its official debut in the Korean market in January 2025.” mean they are well beyond maybes if it is set to debut in less than 2 months? They already have had to produce the battery for the nail testings they mentioned as well as the adding and modifying of individual cells. I am no expert on batteries just interested and trying to learn more. But knowing how productions/releases work with cars/electronics in the U.S. I would have to assume they have had this completed for almost a year at least and are waiting on that debut to launch. Thereby making it entertainment journalism if you will because they just know bits of information as maybe more hasn’t been leaked.
Given the fact we’re well within the Overpromise/Underdeliver Century, safest to take everything with a grain of salt…
This is more of a western marketing desperation feature. “Don’t buy today, we promise better in a few years, even though we have never made anything close to a similar product before”. BYD does not need this desperation, and is already a battery leader.
