China's rapid EV battery advancements outpace US fossil fuel infrastructure decline.

Elevator Pitch
While US fossil fuel infrastructure faces disruption, China's BYD is achieving breakthrough EV battery charging speeds and range, threatening to dominate future energy markets.
Full Description
"BYD also claims to have addressed the well-known issue of lithium iron phosphate cells losing performance in cold temperatures. After the cells were stored for 24 hours at –30 degrees Celsius and therefore completely frozen, charging from 20 to 97 per cent reportedly took just twelve minutes."
As the US sabotages the globe's fossil fuel infrastructure at the behest of Israel, China continues to build the future that will replace it. One by one, the naysayers' objections to EVs melt away. Can't do cold climates, they said - fixed. Can't cope with long journeys, they said - fixed.
As Napoleon once famously observed, 'never interrupt your enemy while they're making a mistake'. China must be thinking that, as the US helps hand it total dominance of the 21st century energy infrastructure.

1000km range with a 9 minute recharge would completely allay the range anxiety hesitation I have toward current EVs.

From being an EV owner for several years, range is a non-issue once you are >300 miles. However, my experience is in the US where we have a good charging network, not sure what Canada is like in that regard.

We have BYD here in Costa Rica and they are nicer than Tesla. We have Tesla too, but the have fallen by the wayside badly.

Holy shit. Canada, let in more BYD cars if true. My issues with buying a small electric vehicle have always been range and cold weather performance. If they’ve cracked this they could absolutely dominate.

Spoiler, they were never very good. They just got there first.

But does it have a built-in mecha hitler ai to generate csam images? How are they gonna compete with tesla? the bipartisan effort to protect american industry and block chinese evs and solar panels is one of the most self-destructive things we’ve ever done. When we’re sitting at +4C I hope we all remember the idiocy that got us there.

9 minutes of what KwH charger? Reads and sees 1500KWh 🤯

Has this been confirmed and/or tested? Saying something is one thing, proving or having a working model is another. Not trying to down them, I hope it is true, I'd love to purchase one

> And I'm sure this is all tested publicly with well documented stats, right? BYD have a track record at this point; they sell more cars than Ford. If you want to interrogate their claims, ask when they have failed to live up to their promises before? The fact they have gone from nowhere to world's 6th biggest car maker should help answer that question.

I'm waiting for BYD cars review in Canada before getting one, but Im hopeful!

Time will tell. But afaik it's not the CCP's style to make up big authoritarian lies like this.

And I'm sure this is all tested publicly with well documented stats, right? Not just an article based on a press release from BYD? How many frickin' press releases have to turn out to be complete B.S. before we begin to question wild claims in press releases?
