BYD releases battery that fully charges in 5 minutes with a range of 300 miles. Tesla’s newest battery was 4 years ago. Edit: Goes on sale next month.

Kind of embarrassing as a people that government can keep this from us with no push back.

Trump-Musk are the epitome of forward thinking.

They will invest in American infrastructure!

Told nikkaz the biggest ground breaking tech is about to come majorly from China. Depends how things go this next 10-15 years Africa is gonna have next in tech.

I’m just learning how evs work. The charger is in the car. The ”charging stations” are just a power source.

And what car are they getting. 300mi range out of?

I honestly don’t know how EV’s work specifically.

In general: usually batteries are the Voltage (power) source in a circuit. In this case the circuit is the electro-mechanical systems of the car (like the motor) and is what drains a battery. Voltage is like the energy needed to push the current through the car’s system so that everything works and it needs to be held at a certain value. After use the battery gets drained and to keep it’s voltage it needs to be recharged at the charging station. That’s a very loose/general description of how I understand it (if it’s DC-based which I’m pretty sure it’s not though).

The newer Hans model is what is was tested on.

So much winning

I remember the Boer hysterically laughing and dismissing BYD as a competitor just 14 years ago.



Who's laughing now?

The OG Musk hater.

It's Over

Very curious of the heat generated and management. Charging that fast creates a ton of heat and possibly degrades battery life fast when stressed THAT much. It’s China, so probably don’t care…just want to hype up the speed…

I can't wait for the world to decouple from the USA. It is going to happen soon too. Now that the USA isn't seen as a reliable ally anymore, everyone will start exploring their options.

Where you at? If you’re in the US where you moving?

People love to gas up China. China govt moves as one and have one direction. They collect taxes and do what’s best for them. Pseudo communist.

America can’t do that. Our constitution doesn’t allow it. The free market and lobbyist of the corporations dictates where investment goes. If money can’t be made, investment and innovation with not happen.

If we (America) wants what China has, we need to change our policies. We all know that won’t happen. That’s why they took solar from us. That’s why their EVs are so cheap. And guess what, we will keep them out to “protect” the American companies.

American companies cant compete because of our labor costs, production costs, and regulations. We will never be able to build a 5-7k EV. If Biden/Trump allowed Chinese EV into America, the big three would be bankrupt within a decade.

Imagine being a liberal and know that Chinese’s EVs will lower our carbon footprint (the battery pollution is another topic). But you won’t push for their vehicles because China is bad.

Breh it’s geopolitics. People laughing about the fall of the US aren’t willing to migrate to China. I don’t want a world where China dominates. Ask Africans.

Thing is, China can have all the breakthrough tech it wants and it won’t really affect us.

It’s not going to kill anybody here if their EV’s are better. However, it just sucks that cheaper, more efficient options exist that’d make people lives easier and we don’t have them because it’d hurt our car companies if they come over. This is on our car companies to come up with cheaper options. Trump is making it so they don’t have to because we’re going to lean on oil more.

Like I said, it’d help people out a lot if they only had to spend $50k their entire lives on EV cars rather than $300k on EV’s. Especially if EV’s ever become mandatory. That’s $150k - $250k you can do a lot more with rather than buy a new car every few years.

Normal mexicans do this all the time in texas or cali. All sorts of illegal ass cars like Puegeots or citroens can be seen in San Diego.

I actually looked into it a few years ago, because there was a very particular japanes car i wanted that wasnt made here. From what i recall, all you needed was the mexican equivalent of an LLC to buy and "own" the car. There is also a special "north America" branded insurance that covers you from ciudad Juarez to Toronto.

Say less

I heard the batteries steal your data!!

banned!

All EV steal your data , they have cameras & microphones inside & outside of the vehicles
