BYD is testing solid-state EV batteries in its Seal sedan with nearly 1,200 miles of range
BYD is responding to a report that it’s testing solid-state EV batteries in its Tesla Model 3-rivalling Seal. The rumors...
Man if EVs get this much range on one charge and become mainstream enough I highly doubt people will keep regular gas cars as anything but a novelty. Either that, or people will start making a fuckton of money on converting those cars into EVs...
The existing range was already good enough for most. I feel like you could read this as they could build a car with the same range with only half the battery pack, which saves on cost and weight.
Stick that in your range anxiety.
Eh, I'm not gonna hold my breath until testing is complete. Pleeeeenty of promising technology never makes it past "promising."
Very happy to see any real progress on range, obviously, I just feel like we're exaggerating a bit for attention.
I'm sure there's a huge catch, but even if it's half the range they're claiming that's a huge step up. My guess is that much battery isn't going to fit in countries with very strict safety requirements.
Charging to 80% in 12 minutes with regular chargers or special ones? If it requires upgrading chargers, adoption may be slow.
Most people charge at home anyway, you only really need high voltage chargers along major roads.
Just give me an ev miata with 25% of that range and no weight compromise. Not possible now, but probably in 10 years..
I just want Hyundai to actually produce the N74.
As soon as the range exceeds the mileage people can drive in a single day, there will be a gigantic uptick in EV sales.
