BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace - Lemmy.World

1,036 km (644 miles) on a single charge under China’s CLTC testing standard.

Does anyone know how realistic this range is? You can get some absurd range from a vehicle if you’re driving on a closed course at 60kmh with no air conditioning or entertainment.

Your mileage may vary.

1000km range is fucking stupid. No one should be driving that far at once, and they rest of the time you waste energy and money just carrying around thousands of pounds of batteries.

Then there is the fun of a car crash and shorting out over 120KW of energy.

When the selfdriving feature gets even better, 1000 km will be useful.

When the selfdriving feature gets even better,

you must be excited about this guy showing up next month.

Self driving is absolutely a thing. FULL self driving like what Tesla tries to bullshit about is a way off.
