Interesting, BYD Atto 3 survives bomb blast in Israel without the batteries igniting.

Thermal runaway can take a while to manifest. Given the visible shrapnel penetration in the vicinity of the battery pack, I would be very wary of that vehicle. Should monitor it with thermal camera before it can be checked into a real shop for analysis/repair.

I am in Wilhelmshaven right now and there are thousands of BYD and MG cars freshly shipped here.

Distribution was roughly 50/50 for BYD and MG.

I will make fotos when I can at that moment my phone was dead.


Normally all those car imports from far east go to Bremerhaven but because there is just to much of them they also off load them at Wilhelmshaven.

new B-12 12m e-bus unveiled by BYD, uses cell to chassis technology with blade battery & 500 kWh battery pack for 600 km range on single charge. CTC tech utilizes a new 6-in-1 controller that w/ Sic Tech & two hair pin motors. So instead of 8-in-1 E 3.0 for cars, we have a 6-in-1 controller for buses that is more efficient. 600k range is pretty good for buses

Also worked with Spanish company UNVI to make the DD-13 double decker bus. Sounds like UNVI will be manufacturing it but it uses blade battery & wheelbase tech

BYD is working with a number of bus manufacturers around the world either providing powertrain or whole chassis. Very common arrangement for BYD

Off the top of my head there are also Gemilang (Malaysia), Alexander Dennis (UK), and the India Joint venture (that everyone hates except you, although I agree with you, risk-reward play)

I don't think anyone is thinking this car should be driven again, but we've seen some of the absolutely devastating Chevy Bolt and Tesla fires, BYD always says LFP won't ignite the way regular Li batteries will. Li actually has a bit of a checkered past if people really think about it, from PowerBook 5300 (yes, I'm old), to Samsung Note, to Bolt

I've been waiting for this picture since this whole thing started.
Not advocating for violence, but I was actually wondering if we would see this as well. Kind of a real world test of how safe BYD batteries really are vs. marketing talk.

How quickly is Lidars scaling up? Well even a cheap brand like Neta can afford it


1st week of october registration numbers. BYD + Denza exceeded 40% NEV market share again.
will post more on that later
Bets on when Tesla puts Lidar back on the Model 3/Y Highland and says China proved otherwise

A bit morbid to think about, but we all used to see Toyotas, Fords, Nissans etc. in pictures of warzones and now we're starting to see BYDs. They're (Chinese cars as a whole) becoming more common nowadays. I see lots of them on the road whenever I go for a walk.

When we see BYD utes being used as

Probably one of the biggest electric bus orders ever, as well as Uzbek government's support for a NEV factory:
