"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.

Holy shit. Canada, let in more BYD cars if true. My issues with buying a small electric vehicle have always been range and cold weather performance. If they’ve cracked this they could absolutely dominate.
1000km range with a 9 minute recharge would completely allay the range anxiety hesitation I have toward current EVs.
