Regarding people questioning durability:
https://thetechylife.com/how-long-do-byd-batteries-last/
BYD batteries are designed to last for 3000 to 5000 charge cycles
If a car has 400 km range on a charge and can handle 3000 cycles, that’s 1.2 million kilometers.
While we don’t know for sure, there has been nothing to indicate BYD should have compromised on that.
They use double charging sockets, so with the higher voltage, it’s actually about the same as current fast chargers.
It’s not much different than current charging stations, they can make do with fewer chargers if they are faster. So it probably evens out. BYD has already stated they will put up 400 of these themselves, the rate af fast charging has increased before without issue, why would this be different? Do you think it doesn’t work because it’s from China?
Because if you don’t know already, China is actually ahead on Car batteries now!
PS sidenote:
My phone is 1½ years old cheap Xiaomi 13T Pro that charges at 125W, it cost half the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra top model at the time, that only had a 65 Watt charger, same size battery but 50% longer to charge! I have not noticed any degradation of the battery. Maybe that’s why I’m less skeptical than most?
