BYD just killed your EV argument with a battery that competes with gas engines

"With the release of its new Blade Battery 2.0 and Megawatt Flash Charge 2.0 architectures, the fear is over. According to the official figures announced in the event, high-volume production BYD cars like its new Denza Z9GT now can drive over 621 miles on a single charge, add roughly 250 miles of range in the time it takes to order a coffee, and rely on a battery pack that refuses to die before the car does, with a guaranteed 620,000-mile lifetime unheard of in any EV."

"BYD's new charging architecture kills the ICE pitstop advantage entirely by pushing 1,500 kilowatts of peak power through a single cable, or up to 2,100 kilowatts if using a dual-gun setup. To understand the sheer power of that electrical flow, you have to look at the current industry standard."

"As the second largest manufacturer of batteries in the world, BYD is currently the batteries to other manufacturers like Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, and even Tesla itself."

BYD announced revolutionary battery and charging technologies that address the two primary barriers to EV adoption: limited range and long charging times. The Blade Battery 2.0 enables vehicles like the Denza Z9GT to travel over 621 miles per charge with a 620,000-mile lifetime warranty. The Megawatt Flash Charge 2.0 architecture delivers up to 2,100 kilowatts of power through dual-gun setups, enabling approximately 250 miles of range in minutes. As the world's second-largest battery manufacturer supplying Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, and Tesla, BYD's technological advancement significantly outpaces competitors and removes the range anxiety that has hindered EV adoption.
