"#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."

Electrek · Those reporting BYD overtook Tesla as top global electric vehicle maker are wrongBy Micah Toll

#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.

DER STANDARD · 400 Kilometer Reichweite nach fünf Minuten: Schnellladen für E-Autos geht in SerieAutohersteller BYD bietet zwei neue Modelle mit "Super E"-Technik und spezielle Ladesäulen an – vorerst aber nur in China

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."

Electrek · BYD’s global EV takeover is far from over as overseas sales double to start 2025By Peter Johnson

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. 😲

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.

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.
