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.

I take it you’ve never had an emergency while living in a remote area. Especially not one with cold winters that will tank your EV’s range.

You live outside of a thousand km range of anyone?

Sure, lets make up fake once in a lifetime scenarios. What if we needto get 1000km from that comet impact?

Car threads degrade to fucking stupid quickly.

Calling people stupid and then complaining about the reaction you get.

I mean what do you expect?
