"BYD's newest EVs, equipped with its latest battery and charging technology, are a stark reminder of just how far Chinese automakers have left Western brands in the rearview mirror. The automaker rolled out its updated Seal 07 electric sedan Friday, replete with the second-generation Blade lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery and compatibility with its new 1,500 kilowatt Flash chargers."
"The car arrives with 10% range left, which is about 73 km (45 miles) according to its display. It goes on to hit 70% in four minutes 51 seconds, adding a whopping 422 km (262 miles) of range in that time. It then reaches 97% in just eight minutes 44 seconds, with 686 km of range displayed on its screen."
"You'd think the sedan would be expensive given its impressive specs. But it actually costs the equivalent of $10,000 less than the Tesla Model 3 in China, coming in at a starting price of 169,900 yuan ($24,600). The base rear-wheel-drive Model 3 trim comes in at about 235,500 RMB ($34,100 as of current exchange rates)."
