Does this burning at 200 j/g really mean it would be a lot safer or do you chalk this up to be company propaganda. Clearly it is a lot lower than gasoline, but since 600-900 proved to still be an issue, could this be enough to stabilize people’s fears you think?

I do not think so. These batteries can still burn, and get super hot then. The fire just does not last as long. The firefighters will notice for sure, the general public not so much. The problem is less grave, but still exists.
I’d rather a slower, less intense burn tbh. More time to escape.
LFP battery chemistry is already dominant in value EV segment. Much cheaper, with long life. It is a heavier chemistry, but for cars, it doesn’t matter than much… unless racing performance is wanted.
This press release focuses entirely on safety. Maybe their old blade batteries were NMC??? Does anyone know advantages of this over its/other LFP batteries?
Planning? Cashgrab using marketing at worse, useless news at best as (it its true) then it will happen sooner or later.
BYD are a battery manufacturer that happened to break into the Car Market. One of the few EV manufacturers of trust with interesting battery news.

Wouldn’t “The company is planning its official debut in the Korean market in January 2025.” mean they are well beyond maybes if it is set to debut in less than 2 months? They already have had to produce the battery for the nail testings they mentioned as well as the adding and modifying of individual cells. I am no expert on batteries just interested and trying to learn more. But knowing how productions/releases work with cars/electronics in the U.S. I would have to assume they have had this completed for almost a year at least and are waiting on that debut to launch. Thereby making it entertainment journalism if you will because they just know bits of information as maybe more hasn’t been leaked.
Given the fact we’re well within the Overpromise/Underdeliver Century, safest to take everything with a grain of salt…
Agreed, that’s why I was asking more about perception and mentioned it as an entertainment piece in the comment above. Sometimes speculation can be fun though. Some of my fondest memories of technology coming out aren’t from the use, but the moments of discussion, expectations, and waiting. Like I never had a Wii, but I remember waiting for the Wii to launch at midnight back in the day. Sometimes you learn a lot more about a product than you would otherwise ever have looked into once it was already out by discussing the up and coming and comparing post launch.
Will I ever own this product… I doubt it. But someday a product built off pieces of it’s design or maybe even largely copied, possibly.
This is more of a western marketing desperation feature. “Don’t buy today, we promise better in a few years, even though we have never made anything close to a similar product before”. BYD does not need this desperation, and is already a battery leader.
i always trust Chinese companies and definitely the ones with big Chinese state subsidies. the only reason BYD is a thing is because they are known for being cheap if they cost the same as any other car brand they would not sell outside china.
Some cars that historically were popular because they were cheap are now legendary.
Ford T, VW bubble (Beetle), Citroen 2CV, Morris Mascot.
Nothing wrong with cheap, cheap makes things popular, that would otherwise be out of reach for most.not if you use subsidies to make it cheaper that means its not actually cheaper your just distorting the marked. it maters why there cheap.
Tesla is also heavily subsidized. So was the VW Beetle.
are they know for making cheap shit before they made cars not all subsidies are the same.
Can you tell me why?
why what do you mean?
You said you always trust Chinese companies and especially those funded by their government. I was asking why you give blind support to all of those companies, is there some track record you are going off of that shows them doing very well or something?
that was sarcasm
Ah, by the looks of how many people downvoted you there I think it must have been missed. I wanted to be sure so I figured it best to just inquire and find out if there was something I was out of the loop on.
that only makes it more funny to me. i did think that the later part of what i said would be a clue.
Yeah I made a joke yesterday about Bezos and Metaverae getting integrated into government processes like the DMV and the first 2 ticks were down, I was like oh boy, here we go haha
