"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.
10–97% in nine minutes: BYD presents second generation of Blade Battery
I would not be surprised if BYD is the industry leader and has the best battery technology, I just also wouldn't be surprised if they are doing a showcase of the potential of the batteries if they sacrificed longevity. It is a claim by a company and isn't verified by independent consumers.
Battery technology especially has a long history of performance with big astricks, so it's good to be skeptical, even with industry leaders.
Being skeptical is well and good. Never did I say we should suspend our skepticism.
What evidence is there to support the idea that BYD intentionally designs more towards performance than durability? The fact that OP claims that the world's champion of LFP designs more towards performance just shows how they're talking straight out their ass, and have very little understanding of battery chemistry or engineering.
Not explicitly, no, but you certainly implied it.
