@Marnix_Belgium Reporting this post for disturbing imagery. Hahah

The final death throes? How to compete with..........🤣🤣

@InsideChinaAuto Tsk tsk tsk. Assumptions about what Lynk&co and Zeekr will do with powertrains is dangerous hahaha. They could just shove the methanol engine in there just as a curve ball.

It's long been rumoured that the Lynk & Co 10 / Z10 would get a shooting brake version, but while we wait for that, we can definitely look forward to a Lynk & Co 07 estate, judging by these spy pictures. Would be a hybrid mind.

You talking about Toyotas solid state they say might be ready 2027? That’s not really a similar battery. If you are talking about that battery I don’t understand how it could draw 10C+ on non 10C+ rated chargers? Well BYD already built 4000 stations. With partners aiming for 20,000 by the end of 2026. And you can still charge these at 5C+ rates at other 5C chargers.

@ChinaDriven @CitizenCohn @WIRED Toyota's got a similar battery coming out that charges at charging stations that are out there right now not new ones that have to be built with Uber grid connections like the BYD one.

BYD just unveiled an electric car that can charge from 10 to 70 percent in five minutes, and all the way in nine More proof that EVs are going to dominate the future, just a question of how long it takes — and who will build them Via @WIRED wired.com/story/how-byds…

@NIO_WilliamLi Source of BYD using NIO battery swap stations as storage for their Flash charging.

Smartest business form: make cash from competitors success! After possible AI chip customers #Geely (+20 subbrands) & #Leapmotor (part of #Stellantis with ~14 brands), now it's rumored that #BYD could use #NIO's battery swap stations as energy storage for its superchargers.

@SinoAutoInsight I wonder which defunct Chinese EV we'll see this time...maybe rolling out a Neta GT with a screen in the bonnet ;)

This level of determination is admirable ...and a bit sad.

I assume this is for the 14 stall station that I visited. Not the 2 stall stations. Right now there are 4000 stations built, or pre-built that are rolling online. Ranging from 2 stalls to 14 stalls. Obviously the 2 stall ones don't have the huge canopy. I'd assume that most Flash chargers will be between 2-4 stalls. With only high density areas having a fully built out 14 stall canopy station. How does this compare to NIO swap 4th gen? I've seen quotes around the ~200K USD but afaik thats just for the station and batteries. No site prep, Labor, grid interconnection which you included in that BYD flash charger Capex. And I also think that 200K USD doesn't include the 500kW chargers, which most gen 4 come with between 5 to 10 chargers each 500kW. At the end of the day, both roll outs will use a lot of cash.

@ChinaDriven @Zaheerkybaat

The amount of people screaming about BYD's Flash Charging 2.0 "AHHHAAH YoU cAn'T dRaW tHaT mUcH pOwEr fRoM tHe gRiD! It cAn'T dEaL wItH ThE LoAd!" Let me explain, before you jump to stupid conclusions. YES this 1.5MW charging can be sustained. NO it won't put too much strain on the Grid. Why? Because onsite there are huge batteries. That's the key. You'll see this at some truck charging places, though most average EV owners have never gone to look. THIS is how is works: 1) The batteries onsite draw a normal amount from the grid, continuously recharging. 2) When a car plugs in it draws a reasonable amount from the grid directly. This alone will not get it the 1.5MW 3) The batteries onsite discharge, in laymans terms, to top up or enhance the charge. Allowing the Car to draw 1.5MW via a combination of draw from the grid and the onsite batteires. I went to a 14 charger station. I spoke with a senior engineer. He said it can deliver 1.5MW charging to 14 cars at the same time because of the batteries. They are the difference maker in this sceanrio Guess who makes the batteries onsite...BYD!

@Zaheerkybaat I'd still like to see dual bays and dual battery stacks for busy areas.

I thought I heard 5th gen has 50 slots Guess not It contains 21-28 slots. Still good enough.

@Zaheerkybaat That's not a huge of slots for busy places, especially when its potentially carrying 7 different types of batteries. Since they'll be adding firefly's battery to the mix

@ethan_iot_ev @Zaheerkybaat Sure but so can the 4000 BYD flash charger stalls already installed. The onsite ESS could also do the same thing. I forgot to ask them if it currently is able to do that.

@Zaheerkybaat Love this logistics play! Using NIO swap stations as grid buffers transforms static assets into dynamic energy reservoirs. 🌱

Could $NIO Gen5 swap stations support BYD superchargers? BYD needs costly battery storage for ultra-fast charging. NIO’s 50-slot swap stations could act as grid buffers—powering chargers. BYD saves on batteries, #NIO gains sponsored swap expansion. Win-win?

I mean BYD already built 4000 stalls...they want 20,000 by the end of the year with 3rd party. I'm not sure NIO swap stations could be useful. Cos then the batteries wouldn't be ready to swap...and NIO Gen 4 come with a load of 500kW chargers already. And it would be a huge shift in NIO's "charge batteries slowly for battery health" message to suddenly be ok to rapidly discharge and recharge the batteries in the stations...

@Zaheerkybaat @Meti1234567890B I mean BYD make all of it. So who knows how much it really costs them to make and install. Maybe eventually the costs will come out.

@ChinaDriven @Meti1234567890B Megapack cost around 1-2 millions usd, Tesla has 30% gross margin on those. Since it BYD i think it cost would be halved but not cheap. Just a guess work,

@ChinaEV_Eng_Lif @tphuang i assume this is probably used to do the lights and small stuff. There's a shop on site perhaps thats powered by these solar panels.

@tphuang I strongly doubt that this solar array can even sustain a single charger with batteries.

Large BYD super charging station sustained by its own solar panel & BESS. This is the future.

@Meti1234567890B Wait how much do these cost per one? I don't have that information, afaik BYD didn't realise that. Can you give me your source?

@ChinaDriven So they have build a super charger with a battery swap station on the side to back it up, without the capability to swap batteries that cost higher than swapping stations and their superior services! Nice 👌

yeah as Mark said most cities don't restrict blue ICE plates, and cities that do BJ, SH, SZ actually did it for congestion control. So while some cities like SH & SZ made it easier for you to get a green plate, helping nudge more people to EV But that won't last forever, cos the problem of congestion still exists even if everyone is using EVs.

@InsideChinaAuto @sceptical_panda @thinkercar @tphuang @GlennLuk @ChinaDriven wow! didn't know, thanks so green plates are not a nationwide thing!

In Feb, the top 20 models by retail sales (based on insurance registrations) were as follows:🇨🇳 • #Geely Boyue leads with 22.8k units, retaining its top ICE SUV spot despite a 13.7% MoM decline. • Nissan Sylphy follows at 22.3k units, as traditional ICE sedans remain core to the family car market. • #Xiaomi YU7 takes 3rd with 20.1k units, though a steep 46.8% MoM drop highlights sales volatility. • #Tesla Model 3 surged 529.3% MoM to 12.8k units, while Model Y posted 4.6% MoM growth to 17.9k units.

I'm a full grown man...so why am I playing with teddies in the new Xiaomi SU7? 🧔‍♂️🧸 Not my thing...BUT if @Xiaomi did a cross-promotion with @POPMARTGlobal to make a Labubu edition, that would probably go viral. 🔥🚀👀 @leijun feel free to reach out for more brilliant ideas💭💡
