China is claiming a significant breakthrough in E technology.
Would this make a believer out of you if it is true? The current bugaboo as I see it is installing all those megawatt chargers....and I still dont like the fact that only specially trained shops can work on cars and maybe bikes if they are electric.

BYD's 2nd Generation Blade Battery (released early 2026) offers higher energy density (up to 200 Wh/kg), enabling 1,000+ km ranges, improved safety, and faster charging. It uses Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate (LMFP) chemistry and "flash-flow" technology, achieving 10-70% charge in just five minutes with new megawatt-level chargers.

Key Features and Improvements of Gen 2 Blade Battery
  • Energy Density: Increased to roughly 190–200 Wh/kg, up from 140–165 Wh/kg in the Gen 1 battery.
  • Charging Speeds: Enabled by new flash-charging technology, allowing for a 10% to 70% charge in 5 minutes.
  • Performance & Range: Enables long-range EVs up to 1,000km.
  • Chemistry: Uses an LMFP cathode (Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate) and a silicon-carbon composite anode for higher performance, replacing standard LFP.
  • Durability: Enhanced lifespan, with some reports indicating over 4,000 cycles.
  • Safety: Continues to use a "blade" structure with improved 700°C extreme temperature tolerance.
 
I think that “advertising” by definition, always precedes the product and overstates the performance to elevate immediate sales in order to recover development and production costs as quickly as possible for maximizing profits. Customer safety and satisfaction are way farther down the list.

Panniers, topcase, tankbag, enough space for comfortable seating of rider and passenger, perfect weather protection, maintenance free shaft drive, total neutral whilst precise handling, enough power for any situation/terrain, brakes that stop on a dime, a minimum range of 500km, a maximum refueling time of 10 minutes...

Anyone...?

Methinks I'll stick with my ancient ST1100 then... :dr11:
