"#Yadea’s recent announcement of surpassing 100 million cumulative electric two-wheelers sold globally puts both automakers’ figures in perspective. On an annual basis, Yadea consistently sells more than 6-8 million electric scooters, bicycles, and motorcycles, comfortably surpassing the combined annual sales of #Tesla and #BYD."
#BYD bringt nach vorheriger Ankündigung zwei E-Autos auf den Markt, die in nur fünf Minuten Strom für 400 km laden – dank der neuen #SuperE-Technik.
Möglich macht das eine #Ladeleistung von bis zu einem #Megawatt. Vorerst sind die Modelle #HanL und #TangL nur in China erhältlich, da spezielle #Schnellladestationen nötig sind. Ob und wann diese Technik auch nach #Europa kommt, ist noch offen.
“As extreme tariffs become a central pillar of US economic strategy, a clear pattern is emerging: US companies are increasingly caught in regulatory complexity and strategic fallout, while their foreign rivals advance through the gaps created by that very strategy.” #Tesla #BYD #EV #Musk #Trump #tariff #chaos

Es mag sein, dass der Vorsprung, den Tesla vor 5 Jahren noch hatte, geringer geworden ist, aber ich habe jetzt nach diversen Probefahrten den Eindruck, dass er nach wie vor vorhanden und nicht gerade besonders knapp ist.
Die Umstellung nach einem Verkauf meines Model 3 würde zweifelsfrei weh tun.

"BYD sold over one million EVs and plug-in hybrids in the first three months of the year. Even more impressive, #BYD’s overseas sales doubled to start the year as it expands into new markets. With new EVs arriving, some predict BYD could see even more growth this year."

THIS is how you get broad uptake of EVs.
"New starting price of #BYDSeagull EV is 56,800 yuan ($7,800), making it one of the cheapest subcompact EVs in Asia."

Grid power was restored at 1.22 am (17 hours 43 minutes after it went out) but I was in bed by then so our car continued to supply power to our fridge-freezer, WiFi, etc. overnight. By the time I disconnected everything from the V2L adaptor it had been providing power for us for 24 hours and used a total of 7.2 kWh in that time, leaving the car battery at 91%.
The V2L adaptor goes back into its storage spot in the sub-basement of the boot, and I've decided to keep one of the 30 metre extension cords and the power board box in the frunk just in case I need them when on the road.
So far so good. The scheduled power outage started about 7:40 am, but I was able to quickly restore power to the fridge-freezer, the NBN box & WiFi router, the lizard's heat lamp and lighting, and my working from home monitor, laptop, etc.
I have the Vehicle-to-Load adaptor plugged into the car, two extra heavy duty 30 metre long extension cables plugged onto that inside a weatherproof power board box, and a mess of additional power boards and extension cords inside the house. Fortunately, apart from the fridge which is directly connected to the V2L adaptor, it's all very low power so having lots of long cables will be OK.
Being able to work from home pretty much as I normally do on Wednesdays is nice, but not having to worry about everything in the freezer defrosting is really, really nice.
Sorry, but China EV manufacturer BYD just kicked Tesla’s ass around the block and then some.
They aren’t even in the same game.
Active magnetic suspension, 4-motor drive 1300hp, independent turning on every wheel. It can literally climb stairs, u-turn in place on a narrow road & shift itself sideways to park.
I would totally drive this beast if I could afford it. I don’t give AF that it’s chinese. Amazing tech.
Chinese electric vehicle champion BYD has reported a 60% surge in sales in the first quarter of the year as archrival Tesla stumbles.

BYD is basically eating the #swasticar 's lunch. Sadly you won't see them in the US thanks to the tariffs.
Range anxiety? Not me!
This was actually deliberate. The BYD Seal owner's manual recommends occasionally running the battery down to < 10% then charging uninterrupted up to 100%. The purpose of this is to allow the battery management system to recalibrate, ensuring that its estimates of available charge remaining will remain accurate as the battery ages. The manual recommends doing this every 3-6 months if the car is being driven daily, though the change in battery capacity over that time should be minimal.
#Bitcoin has been volatile as usual. It raced up almost 20% when #Trump took office, only to dive nearly 30% when his plans for a #US #cryptocurrency reserve failed to impress.
And if you think that's bad just look at #Musk’s #Tesla share price versus its main rival #BYD since inauguration day. Ouch.
Habe mir heute den BYD Seal in Dortmund angesehen und muss sagen: Ein feines schnittiges Auto. Gefällt mir wirklich sehr gut, und könnte tatsächlich der Nachfolger meines jetzigen Model 3 werden.
Erstmal eine Probefahrt vereinbart, die will ich auf jeden Fall noch abwarten.
China, led by BYD, has become the global EV leader, while other countries, including Japan, struggle to keep up with the shift toward electric vehicles. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2025/03/28/byd-paces-the-auto-industry/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #editorials #china #automakers #byd #electricvehicles #evs #greentechnology #climatechange
