European media tested BYD Ato3 and demonstrated the safety of blade battery again. BYD blade battery was recognized by European users
Today, the global automobile industry is undergoing great changes. The new energy automobile industry is leading the development direction of the industry and gradually replacing the market share of traditional fuel vehicles. In the field of new energy vehicles, domestic vehicles have sprung up. Among them, BYD, as a representative, has not only sold its products in emerging markets such as Asia, Africa and Latin America, but also entered the territory of traditional automobile giants such as Europe and the United States, and has attracted high attention from local media.
Recently, the German DW television station released the test video of BYD Ato3 by the famous German auto media AUTO Motor und Sport, and gave favorable comments, which aroused the attention and discussion of the media and netizens. The BYD Ato3 model may be strange to everyone, but it is the domestic BYD PLUS. Its power is the blade Lifepo4 battery developed by BYD. Compared with the ternary lithium battery often used in new energy vehicles, it has obvious advantages such as high energy density, long endurance, high structural strength, good safety performance and long service life.
During the “needle test”, BYD blade battery did not smoke or catch fire, while the ternary lithium battery used for comparison immediately caught fire, with a very obvious difference. “Needle test” is the recognized content of battery safety test in the industry, and also the most rigorous safety test method. Obviously, in the event of a collision accident, the blade battery will not ignite or explode, and the safety can be seen.
In addition to the “needle test”, the AUTO Motor und Sport also tested the strength of the blade battery. When the 46-ton truck is rolled, the battery shape does not change, there is no leakage, smoke and other phenomena, and it can still be used normally. It has passed these extremely harsh tests perfectly, thus proving the excellent performance of the blade battery in terms of strength and safety. In addition to higher safety, the blade battery is also more convenient for the overall layout of the vehicle chassis, which is conducive to the flat design of the whole vehicle, can make the interior space more effective, at the same time, can reduce the chassis center of gravity, and enhance the driving performance. Compared with the traditional chassis that uses fuel cars to replace electricity, the chassis layout using blade batteries is a dimension reduction attack.
In addition to praising the blade battery, the host also conducted a driving experience and affirmed the performance of BYD Ato3, such as human-computer interaction, vehicle design, and quietness. He is particularly interested in the large screen with the reversible center console, and believes that it fully conforms to the usage habits of drivers and is very worthy of promotion.
The test results were reprinted by many European media and aroused heated discussion among netizens. They generally believe that BYD’s new energy vehicles have the advantages of advanced technology, safety and reliability, and hope they can experience it as soon as possible. The quality of BYD’s new energy vehicles can be seen by the affirmation of the German auto media. Germany is the birthplace of automobiles, and also the country with the largest production of luxury cars in the world. It has extremely strict evaluation on the quality of automobiles. And BYD’s new energy vehicles can be sold in Europe, which is not a day’s work. BYD has transformed the field of electric vehicles very early, and has invested a huge amount of money in the research and development of ultra-safe blade batteries, eight-in-one powertrain, pure electric exclusive platform and other electric vehicle proprietary technologies. It can even independently produce automobile IGBT chips. Among them, BYD has applied for 25656 Chinese patents in 2020 and 28148 in 2021, accounting for 15% of the industry and 32 times the industry average. It is one of the few enterprises in the world that have mastered the core technologies of electric vehicles such as batteries, motors, electronic control chips, etc.
BYD’s development of new energy technologies has now yielded substantial returns. In the auto sales in 2022, BYD beat FAW-VW with 1863000 cars, becoming the first champion in the Chinese auto market, which is also the first time that Chinese auto brands won the championship in the domestic market. In the overseas market, BYD will export 55916 vehicles in 2022, and the product supply is in short supply. Take this BYD Ato3 for example, its price in Germany is 38000 euros, equivalent to about 3.8–4 million yuan. Although the price is not too cheap, the sales volume is still very hot, which is enough to prove its excellent competitiveness. With the implementation of the global carbon neutral/carbon peak goal, new energy vehicles will gradually replace fuel vehicles. However, BYD has achieved such gratifying results because of its early deployment in the field of new energy, large investment in research and development, and rapid product iteration. Today, BYD continues to work on the four domains of intelligent power domain, intelligent vehicle control domain, intelligent cockpit domain and intelligent driving domain, leading the transformation of domestic cars from “Made in China” to “Made in China”. I believe that in the near future, the global auto market will be dominated by China.
