Domestic electric vehicles are popular in Europe! Why do foreigners favor BYD? See what foreign netizens say
In recent days, a video of a foreign media car test has been widely circulated on the internet.
The car in the video is BYD's newly launched new energy vehicle, the Atto3 (Yuan Plus). This video was released on the mainstream European television station DW, and DW gave high praise to BYD, calling it a "super safe Chinese electric car." All major European testing institutions have given BYD high praise.
As one of the vast foreign brands, why can BYD stand out among many competitors and attract attention in the European market? This is inseparable from its strong performance and excellent value for money.
The well-known German automotive media Auto Motor und Sport conducted a deep analysis of BYD's vehicles, and the most attractive feature is BYD's unique secret weapon, the "Blade Battery." As BYD's core technology, the Blade Battery has several advantages:
-
Super safety: The battery uses lithium iron phosphate material, which has the characteristics of small volume change, slow heat release, low heat generation, and no oxygen release. This is an important guarantee for its high safety. In terms of structure, the Blade Battery adopts a honeycomb structure, integrating the battery cells with the battery pack, greatly increasing strength.
-
Super longevity: Innovative designs were carried out on both the cell and pack levels, extensive testing was done for expansion force, and many controllable designs were made to ensure the system remains controllable throughout the entire cycle. At 25°C and 45°C, it has better cycle life than NCM. The battery can be charged and discharged more than 3000 times, with a driving distance of up to 1.2 million kilometers.
-
Super strength: The honeycomb aluminum plate structure design removes the traditional crossbeam design at the bottom of the pack, adding multiple blade batteries in the middle, increasing strength.
-
Super range: The maximum capacity of the pack exceeds 100 kWh, easily achieving over 600 km range (e.g., the BYD Han EV can reach up to 605 km).
-
Super power: It can achieve charging from 5% to 80% in just 18 minutes, saving users time.
-
Super low temperature: In low-temperature and low-power scenarios, LFP has higher power than NCM.
However, this alone is not enough to be called "super safe." The Blade Battery has also passed rigorous "nail penetration tests." The nail penetration test simulates short-circuit conditions inside the battery under extreme situations. After the Blade Battery underwent the nail penetration test, there were no occurrences of fires or explosions, and even near the puncture point, there was only a slight increase in temperature, demonstrating excellent safety characteristics. This means that even if a foreign object penetrates the car and damages the battery, BYD vehicles can effectively protect the safety of the occupants and belongings inside the vehicle.
Blade batteries also bring advantages to the research and development of the entire vehicle. Flat design enhances the human-machine experience of drivers and passengers, reduces vehicle wind resistance, increases vehicle ground clearance, and reduces scratches. It improves space utilization throughout the entire life cycle of production, storage, transportation, and cascading, and enhances the stiffness and strength of battery packs. We also provide a comprehensive solution, including platform based design for connecting vehicles and batteries.
It can be said that it is thanks to BYD's unique craftsmanship and sense of responsibility towards consumers that Chinese cars are made
Brands have risen in global status and become more competitive. Since the acquisition of Qinchuan Automobile by BYD in 2003 and the development of new energy vehicles, BYD's first lithium iron phosphate power battery was launched in 2005, becoming the leader in the domestic power battery field. BYD has been committed to the research and development of power batteries and new energy vehicles. As of 2019, the cumulative installed capacity of BYD's power batteries has exceeded 700000 vehicles, and no battery safety accidents have occurred.
That is why BYD was able to successfully open up the international market, deliver good Chinese products to consumers around the world, and become a higher value, safer, and more comfortable choice.
