Chinese electric car giant BYD has unveiled new battery
technology it says will overcome one of the biggest criticisms
levelled at EVs.
The world's biggest electric car manufacturers overnight
revealed its 'Super e-Platform' using the latest
lithium-ion-phosphate Blade battery technology that it
claims can charge at speeds of up to 1,000kW.
Using a new network of ultra-fast charging devices, it
is capable of adding up to 470 kilometres (292 miles) of
range from a charging session lasting just five minutes.
The new technology will be available for the first time
in the updated versions of its Han L saloon and Tang L
SUV - models set for delivery in China later this year.
The game-changing drivetrain system also incorporates BYD's
new high-performance electric motors, which paired in a
dual-motor setup can provide up to 1,084bhp.
. . .
We shall see .......
Oh, do these new batts EXPLODE like the current ones ?
Note the fast-charging assumes the use of the corps
"supercharger" station ... which kinda looks like a
big box, likely full of the batts. I think the idea
is so the charger can charge off the mains at not
too high a drain, then blast the accumulated charge
into the car. Not sure how that works if there are
a LINE of cars for the same charge station.
IF the batts and improved motors work out then China
decidedly owns the world EV market.
Oh, if the EV goes dead in the middle of nowhere,
is there an 'electric gas can' you can fill somewhere
to get the car going again ?
