While American car companies sit there going 'Hurrrr durrr gasoline beats woke EVs'
China is going to outpace the US over the next 50 years and we're all going to be driving BYD cars.
Each Flash charger carries 370kWh of on-site battery storage
That buffering approach is central to how BYD has quickly scaled the network. A site that would otherwise need an industrial-grade grid connection can instead run on a more ordinary one
This is very cool, and answers a question I've heard from users here, arguing that the draw from a cluster of such chargers would overwhelm the grid.
I wonder how many sites where they can find that power readily available throughout Europe. European networks were never designed for that type of draw.
It seems like they will need to provide big battery stations to do that rate of charging.
