The number that should terrify every Western automaker is 1,500 kW.
BYD's Flash Charging pushes 1,500 kilowatts into a car battery. The fastest charger you can find in the US today maxes out at 350 kW. ChargePoint is bragging about rolling out 600 kW chargers sometime in 2026. BYD is already at 2.5x that. Deployed. 5,000 stations live. 20,000 planned by December.
The car in this video, the Song Ultra, starts at $22,000. Five minutes of charging gets you 250 miles of range. The fastest-charging EV you can buy in America is the Lucid Gravity at 400 kW, and it starts at $80,000.
So BYD is charging 4x faster at one-quarter the price. And Geely just beat them last week with a 4-minute charge. The Chinese automakers aren't competing with each other on range or styling anymore. They're in a charging speed war that Western companies haven't even entered.
BMW's response was literally "pursuing quick charging forces other compromises." That's the "640K ought to be enough for anybody" of the EV era.

It is not just goal of the century it is the greatest goal of all time. It was a world cup quarter final between two countries who had been at war only four years earlier. The stakes could not have been higher

@GodsgreatG People who don't believe in evolution are regressing into apes

I have a genuine question. Many scientists say humans evolved from apes and other primates. So why don’t we see that kind of evolution happening today? Why does it seem like it stopped?

Our evolutionary sibling, with whom we share more DNA than either of us do with gorillas or orangutans.

These days, if you say David Baddiel isn't funny, you get called an antisemite and thrown into jail.
