    I think BYD strategy here is that they have a battery that is good enough for production and to be able to meet the insane demand for EV’s for the next few years. Once that this initial demand slows they will then focus more on improving it going forward. Most everyday people just want a battery that works and that won’t explode or catch fire and get the every day usage job done at a reasonable price. This is what every OEM should be doing to solve the main problem of reducing emissions ASAP rather than making a so called ‘killer car’ or ‘better battery’.

AND they're MOVING PRODUCT! They're NOT abusing the environment so bad as all the MINING these cutting edge batteries are using..

    @@rogerstarkey5390 Yes, but it is not odd, it can be cooling space or whatever. The air is not adding weight, it is taking space/volume. If it is used as a cooling air system, that space is smartly used as is not add weight, as in fluid cooling systems. In fact, is a better solution to control the temperature with air instead of fluids. Furthermore, the space between blades makes the structure more stable (remember why the steel H beams have thick flanges and a thin web). So the designer's job is to accommodate that volume between wheels. This is why on all EVs the wheelbase is bigger than any ICE car, ICE cars have the engine in front of the wheels, EVs do not have this limitation so wheels can be pushed forward and backward.

    There’s also the fact that, unlike Li-ion, LFP batteries can utilize their entire capacity, from 0-100% when charging. Not having to be limited to the recommended 20-80% range is a huge bonus. Depending on one’s use case, this feature alone can make up for the loss of overall density. Plus, add in it’s more compact packaging (ie. rectangle vs round), lower cost, higher safety, better reliability and longer life… seems like leading tech to my eyes. And it’s only going to get better? Sign me up.

    The second generation blade battery is coming out later this year. It will offer 180 wh/kg at pack level. Not industry leading, but pretty good. The thing is that BYD's products are never going to sound like the greatest, but they work as expected and are safe and are cost efficient. With CTB technology, they save a lot of structural weight. So I think in practice, they are always going to be the cheapest and among the most dense LFP technologies out there. They don't need to boast about having the highest density level to get sales. They keep their mouth shut and just build stuff.

    Sam, Glad to hear your voice getting better. I have read that BYD Blade battery packs are a structural part of the car, with the cells as stressed members. This is state of the art tech that helps compensate for lower cell energy density. Also the cell format has a lot of surface area, making them easier to heat and cool when needed. It seems that the blade cell format is uniquely suited to LFP chemistry.

Their current battery, know as Liser, seems to resemble LFP (Lithium, Iron, Phosphate for those new to this subject). The C4V battery seems to replace the iron with "biomineralized mixed metals".

If you go cheaper, the performance drops significantly for not much saving in money. Most people would have no idea about the energy density of their EV. In the next few years as BYD and others ramp up production, the energy densities will most likely increase at a rapid rate. People would much rather a have long lasting, reliable EV.

    As far as I know, ternary refers to battery chemistries where nickel, cobalt and manganese are used. Pouch is physical way of manufacturing cells. So in other words it is two different things. You could make a pouch LFP cell or an pouch NMC cell, for instance.

    While i see that for an Australian there are virtually no downsides to LFP besides energy density, for us up north (Norway) there are some significant downsides that can't really be ignored and that mainly has to do with our cold climate. Rapid charging of LFP is quite a bit slower than other chemistry types even at normal summer temperatures (15-25 Celsius) in winter we might see -25 Celsius or even colder. at these temperatures LFP becomes really impractical as I believe they will not charge at all if the pack temperature drops below 0C. If you have a slower level 2 charger (2-4 Kw) you may be using almost all the energy to heat the battery before it can even accept a charge. Many people have experienced this already even with other chemistry types, typically at winter cabin where they may only have 240V 10A charging available. Typically they would see the battery heating for 8-10 hours before charging for a few hours and starting the heating cycle again

    In all Li batteries, thermal management is crucial. There is a reason our modern phones are the shape they are, the flat playing card shape allows heat to dissipate easily through the sides, evening out the temperature and preventing the development of hot spots. The blade shape with a large surface area to volume ratio does the same thing albeit with some sacrifice of overall battery energy density. In contrast are the compact pouch cell LiPo flight batteries used by aero modellers (and in some pocket sized vehicle jump starters). These are volumetricallt efficient and can have spectacular energy density and power output (typically over a kilowatt from something weighing just several hundred grams). However, they are comparatively shortlived, good for just a hundred or so cycles. Occasional internal short circuits, overheating and even fire are the price of this high performance.

    A Watt or kiloWatt (1000 watts) is a unit of Power, where Power is the RATE at which Energy is used (during discharging) or obtained or stored (during charging). So, Watt-hours (Wh) or kiloWatt-hours (kWh) are the units of Energy corresponding to the Watt (W) or kiloWatt (kW) units of Power. Perhaps a better way of explaining this relationship is the formula relating Power (P), Energy (E) and Time (T), where P = E/T. Likewise, E = P x T. Thus, when the unit of Power is kiloWatt (kW) and Time is given in hours (h), your corresponding unit of Energy would be kiloWatt-hour (abbreviated as kWh). I hope this helps everyone appreciate that Gravimetric or Specific ENERGY is given in units of watt-HOURS per kilogram (wh/kg), while the corresponding Gravimetric or Specific POWER would be in units of watts per kilo(gram), or w/kg.

With the blade battery my criteria for my everyday driver, Yuan Plus, is fire safety, reliability, long life and sufficient range for my needs. If I were replacing a Ferrari I'd sacrifice those requirements for light weight and rigidity. Horses for courses.

    You forgot to mention LFP batteries currently have poor performance in freezing weather losing as much as 30-40% of their range.. They can make more which is critical as they do not need the high grade of lithium; but lower density means higher weight for a given range; EVs were already too heavy. Weight means more CO2 to make and to move; more than cancelling out the benefit of electric motors. They need higher density.

    Is the comment about no recalls true? BYD have had to recall nearly 10k cars because, according to the regulator " problems with the battery packs could cause fires". Social media posts suggest that BYD is voluntarily replacing battery packs in additional vehicles and other media posts show BYD vehicles on fire. I accept that the problem might be water ingress into the battery pack rather than an issue with the cells themselves but I doubt that owners affected will split hairs -- for them the recall is to avoid their car catching fire. I also accept that the cars affected are BYD hybrids but it still seems an exaggeration to say that BYD haven't been subject to recalls connected to their batteries.

    I’m guessing EVs will likely last longer than ICE (all those engine and drive train problems gone), especially with long life reliable batteries. That means in 30 years of use, lots of unexpected things can happen. For example, accidents that violently short out the battery or salt spray corrosion in critical places like high current connectors or inside the battery box. A fail safe battery would enhance the reputation of such EVs and keep resale value high for decades.
