"BYD also claims to have addressed the well-known issue of lithium iron phosphate cells losing performance in cold temperatures. After the cells were stored for 24 hours at –30 degrees Celsius and therefore completely frozen, charging from 20 to 97 per cent reportedly took just twelve minutes."
As the US sabotages the globe's fossil fuel infrastructure at the behest of Israel, China continues to build the future that will replace it. One by one, the naysayers' objections to EVs melt away. Can't do cold climates, they said - fixed. Can't cope with long journeys, they said - fixed.
As Napoleon once famously observed, 'never interrupt your enemy while they're making a mistake'. China must be thinking that, as the US helps hand it total dominance of the 21st century energy infrastructure.

Claims... Claims... Claims.
Okay.
Not saying they're lying but... You know, Tesla, Elmo Musk, made claims after claims after lie after claim lie after.... And none of it was true. The guy pretty much invented serial lying.
So now when I see these extraordinary claims, I'm juuuuuuust a tiny teensie bit skeptical. I'll believe it when an independent company verifies this, not a single second before
You are wrong.
Source: this ain't Tesla.
Spoiler: musk didn't invent serial lying but he is very good at it.
There are others that are lying too. Possibly. Therefore: proof!
Oh I was definitely being silly. I did read several other articles that all support the claims including people who have seen live demonstrations though.
It is also not outside of the limit of current lithium ion pack technology. Remember that they have cell phones that charge at 240w. Also, as others pointed out, you would have to have a specialized charging station to charge this fast.
