BYD says their new hatchback will have 620 miles range and a time of 2.9 seconds to 60 mph. It will charge 93 miles in 5 minutes. Can they live up to that prediction in a production car? Can they make it less costly than a Tesla Y? Remember what Japan did to us in the auto market before you discount Chinese competition.
The charging times are rapidly coming down. The prices of the EV's are rapidly decreasing. I remember a lot of people saying that when the first Japanese cars were imported. Ten years later many of them were driving Japanese cars. If they make a good car at a competitive price, it will sell here in the US. The Germans and Japanese proved that.BYD says their new hatchback will have 620 miles range and a time of 2.9 seconds to 60 mph. It will charge 93 miles in 5 minutes.

NO MATTER.
- Longer range just equals longer charge times.
- Electric cars are still uber expensive.
- Hell will freeze over before I buy a chinese car no matter what it does.
They may come down a bit, but at the expense of a harder-to-achieve high-current supply. Not only is the high current feed more expensive and less likely in a home setting, but the battery never gets as good a charge that way and generally requires more exotic (expensive) batteries to work with. No electric car will ever charge up as quickly as I can fill my gas tank.The charging times are rapidly coming down.
They may come down but as cheaper, smaller cars, meanwhile, they still far out-cost the price of a good used gas car.The prices of the EV's are rapidly decreasing.
You could be right. I can only speak for myself and other conscientious buyers.I remember a lot of people saying that when the first Japanese cars were imported. Ten years later many of them were driving Japanese cars. If they make a good car at a competitive price, it will sell here in the US. The Germans and Japanese proved that.
If you are on a trip, the charging time is a problem if you have not allowed time for it. If you are driving back and forth to work, then it is irrelevant as it can be recharged when you are at home. And if you have solar and belong to a VPP, it can even make money for you when it is plugged in.They may come down a bit, but at the expense of a harder-to-achieve high-current supply.

Do the math. You'd think EV's are poised to take over the world........but look at any pie graph of sales of cars, EV's vs. conventional cars. You can barely make out the sliver of EV sales. About 13 million cars sold in the US in 2020......325,000 were EV's

It really doesn't matter that a car can go from 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds I don't know why so many of you people think it does
The Spanish Flu likely started here in the US. Are we responsible for all the deaths in 1918 and 1919?
- Hell will freeze over before I buy a chinese car no matter what it does.
After China is responsible for the death of 3.57 million people with the Wuhan virus... and you buy one of their cars??? That is the ULTIMATE act of selfishness
Yeah.... because we created the Spanish Flu in a lab for the specific purpose to make it more deadly than a simple corona strain; and then, through our lack of security, it leaked out. And then hid it from everyone, thereby allowing the virus to spread across the globe - and then lied about both it's severity and even tried to say no one here died from it.The Spanish Flu likely started here in the US.

You don't know that now. You are just repeating the words of someone that spoke over 35,000 lies in a single term as President, and created the conditions for the loss of over 600,000 American lives by destroying all our defenses against a pandemic in 2018.The Spanish Flu likely started here in the US.

I didn't know anyone was ENGINEERING viruses as a weapon to kill people in 1918!
Another dumb ass that ignores the fact that President Trump totally destroyed our pandemic defenses in 2018. Trump literally should be charged with over 600,000 counts of negligent homicide.Yeah.... because we created the Spanish Flu in a lab for the specific purpose to make it more deadly than a simple corona strain; and then, through our lack of security, it leaked out.

Is that what we did?
No?
Then it isn't the same thing is it?
You should be embarrassed for making such an erroneous comparison

MY, my, get excited when someone correctly points out that the orange ass you love to kiss created the disaster that Covid has wrought in the US. Even if China developed that in a lab, and I have seen no proof of that, had we had in place the safeguards that Presidents Bush and Obama put into place, our death toll would be far lower. Instead the orange asshole lied for months about the pandemic. And the fact that he destroyed our defenses in 2018. But go ahead and continue kissing the orange ass, and by proxy, Puttin's ass. And when the cell door clangs behind your hero and there is dancing in the streets as there was when Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election, get yourself a case of crying towels.You don't know that now.

FUCK YOU ASSHOLE. How dare you drag Trump into this with your incessant, pathetic TDS. Trump has nothing to do with this, idiot. I am speaking about the best that we know and the assumptions the top experts are making, China's refusal to let teams into the lab and their unwillingness to release data. And I'm speaking to the fact that the first known Covid cases were from several employees whom WORKED IN THE FUCKING LAB.
Now go soak your head in a gallon of olive oil, add in a few springs of basil, thyme and oregano, and market it as a new pizza topping for tomatoless pizzas.
