Does this burning at 200 j/g really mean it would be a lot safer or do you chalk this up to be company propaganda. Clearly it is a lot lower than gasoline, but since 600-900 proved to still be an issue, could this be enough to stabilize people’s fears you think?
Planning? Cashgrab using marketing at worse, useless news at best as (it its true) then it will happen sooner or later.
BYD are a battery manufacturer that happened to break into the Car Market. One of the few EV manufacturers of trust with interesting battery news.

Wouldn’t “The company is planning its official debut in the Korean market in January 2025.” mean they are well beyond maybes if it is set to debut in less than 2 months? They already have had to produce the battery for the nail testings they mentioned as well as the adding and modifying of individual cells. I am no expert on batteries just interested and trying to learn more. But knowing how productions/releases work with cars/electronics in the U.S. I would have to assume they have had this completed for almost a year at least and are waiting on that debut to launch. Thereby making it entertainment journalism if you will because they just know bits of information as maybe more hasn’t been leaked.
Given the fact we’re well within the Overpromise/Underdeliver Century, safest to take everything with a grain of salt…
Agreed, that’s why I was asking more about perception and mentioned it as an entertainment piece in the comment above. Sometimes speculation can be fun though. Some of my fondest memories of technology coming out aren’t from the use, but the moments of discussion, expectations, and waiting. Like I never had a Wii, but I remember waiting for the Wii to launch at midnight back in the day. Sometimes you learn a lot more about a product than you would otherwise ever have looked into once it was already out by discussing the up and coming and comparing post launch.
Will I ever own this product… I doubt it. But someday a product built off pieces of it’s design or maybe even largely copied, possibly.
This is more of a western marketing desperation feature. “Don’t buy today, we promise better in a few years, even though we have never made anything close to a similar product before”. BYD does not need this desperation, and is already a battery leader.
