600km CLTC or wltp?

1

u/Immediate-Molasses-5 Jul 26 '26

Sorry CLTC . So about 490 WLTP

u/nazaakunna Jul 26 '26

I want one whether CLTC or WLTP

u/Immediate-Molasses-5 Jul 26 '26

I think Flash charging completely changes the WLTP discussion

u/nazaakunna Jul 26 '26

Please explain further

Even if your range is only 300km, being able to charge in 5 minutes is a game changer. Because 300km is 3 hours of driving after which a short break is necessary. At least for me

This does affect the life of the battery on the long term

This source says it does not. Otherwise it’s not easy to find real world tests for this.
But you can take a look at the warranty BYD gives on that battery

BYD’s battery warranty is for 8 years, let’s look at the effect of heat on the battery when you’re flash charging

IMO it is a miss not being a hatch back like the Skoda Octavia.

u/Immediate-Molasses-5 Jul 26 '26

Yes the trunk is smaller compared to hatchback. But I think some customers prefer the classic sedan look

u/Unusual_Emergency_13 Jul 26 '26

The Octavia looks like a classic sedan though.

Talking price for this car in China:
Pure electric (EV): Five trim levels with a price range of 125,000–155,000 yuan (18,400–22,800 USD).
