"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.

So your refutation of skepticism is "you must be racist, so we should disregard this skepticism"?

You didn't refute the physics or the claim, only showed that the company super promised they'd fix it if it went wrong.

If your background is in engineering, why didn't you start from that instead of going into PR mode? It certainly seems more like damage control than alleviating actual concerns.
