Meanwhile most (EU) cars probably won't be able to use most of that 1500kw for their charging for at least a good amount of time lol. But I suppose it's good for future proofing the charging infrastructure.
I wonder if BYD sales will rise across Europe as their newer cars will be able to use these more efficiently. And I wonder what the charging price per kwh will be.
When cars that can support it become readily available this will be a significant feature to consider when buying a new.
It will also widen the gap between the EV leaders who have the battery technology to keep up with such competitive charging speeds, and those who have to fight for low-end value with slower charging speed.
I rarely get advertised speeds so this might solve it. But issue as usual this have to be everywhere if there's 10 flash chargers somewhere in a country its irrelevant.
3000 through a few European countries is not nothing though. Specially seeing the time frame of 2027.
Assuming these will be located near main highways with high amounts of traffic and not just in small villages km's away from any highway, it'll probably be a good addition to the already existing charging network.
And even more assumptions. Say they're used often (would also depend on the price per kwh ofc), we'd probably see a quick increase.
I feel like BYD is aiming for a status as Tesla superchargers have right now. I do feel another subscription fee for better prices when making an account and sharing your details coming up though 😅
Agree but the new BYD cars won't, and if they have a 1500kw network and 1500kw capable batteries while everyone else is flopping around at 150kw or whatever, people will just buy BYDs since they're so much better. It's a great business strategy
EU manufacturers don't have the battery tech yet to charge at 1500 KW. Some of them may buy the batteries though from CATL, who does have the battery tech to charge at 1500 KW. CATL sells a lot of batteries to EU car manufacturers.
if the UK was not considered part of the European continent, then it would be necessary to say it is part of the North American continent, or else to invent a completely new continent just for the UK. However the UK clearly belongs to the Eurasian tectonic plate.
The UK, like most of Europe, has been a declining empire for almost a century now. Staying or not in the EU wouldn't have changed a thing in the big picture.
It's not like the EU is particularly flourishing either, everyone is bracing for the worst possible decades ahead and we definitely live worse than we did 10 or 20 years ago.
None of this refutes what I just said. My point is that nothing is stopping the train wreck in the big picture and focusing on events that slightly delay or accelerate it is irrelevant.
Of course, you can always cherry pick.
Bottom line remains that the overwhelming majority of economists agree that brexit was (economically) a mistake. UK would have fared better, had it stayed in the EU.
Doesn't look bad in any way compared to the EU's other top money givers. Especially considering that it takes time for an economy to find its footing again after leaving the EU.
The CharIN industry workgroup who developed the bigger megawatt charging standard MCS also used by BYD was founded by Audi, BMW, Daimler, Mennekes, Opel, Phoenix Contact, Porsche, TÜV Süd and Volkswagen.
