New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China

Is it the most advanced catl battery? Will CN allow it?
it's not the most advanced CATL battery & this is no problem
electric HDT by JAC is showing 2C fast charging using batteries from BYD
You can theoretically go 4C, but the charging infrastructure doesn't allow it.
third RoRo ship for BYD has sailed
How about CATL's factory deal with GM and Ford? These plans are still on hold due to US politics.
It’s still being built. They’ve scaled it back in size because EV demand is lower than expected.
My personal opinion is that this is a strategic mistake. They’re going to regret reducing output.

Europe needs China's battery expertise because the scale-up of EV battery production is hard. Northvolt is not the only European battery maker in trouble.
Fang Cheng Bao will have a Tai lineup, as well as the Bao series. Instead of Bao 3, there will be a Tai 3.
BYD is not the only one.
Geely, SAIC-GM-Wuling, Changan, and Chery did well in November.
here is a look at liquid vs solid electrolyte in action. If you can do proper fully solid state battery, then it's clearly much better
we've dipped below 50% in NEV penetration for the past 2 week's registrations.

There do seem to be some underlying engineering limitations that translate to Shark not offering the same level of off-road capability as some full-featured ICE utes. video goes into some detail regarding Shark's torque deficit relative to ICE vehicles with low-range gearing and differential locks and how that relates to the limitations encountered whilst hill-climbing. The FCB Leopard 5 that Shark is based on does have differential locks, so there is clearly some cost-cutting and tailoring to specific intended use scenarios going on.
So far as I can tell, BYD Shark is indeed a highly compelling package, including more off-road capability than the great majority of prospective owners will ever require. But it is nonetheless a somewhat different package compared to the mid- and upper-spec ICE utes that it is most directly competing against, which means that BYD has the additional challenge of crafting a unique narrative about this vehicle that effectively communicates what it is and who it is for.

my explanation here of semi Solid state battery being used and developed for commercial vehicles and how it works.
people are just clueless in the West about how huge of a solid state battery supply chain is getting built up in China.
