#2Is 5min charge and 500mile range enough to finally stop the usual procession of objections to EVs? I know this is a luxury model and the charging stations will take awhile to roll out, but the trajectory is crystal clear and the momentum fast.
Where’s the usual comments claiming that hybrids are the true way forward?

#3Holy smokes! Now this is the future and innovation I love to see. I can't wait to get my hands on any BYD.

Wait, people here claim that hybrid is the future? All while Chinese EVs are taking over everywhere?

#5> The Denza Z9 GT is available in China, starting at 269,800 yuan ($39,300).
Oh my. EV war is over I suppose.

EVs around the world will be getting 1000 miles and we’ll (US) be adding a 3rd row to our trucks.

I've never ever seen anyone claim that hybrid is the end goal.
I've only ever seen people say that hybrid is the practical stopgap until faster charging rate/infrastructure and better range is available, probably the result of next-gen batteries.

#8if you can fast charge in 5 minutes, why do you need the cost and weight of a 500 mile range 130kwh battery?

There are a number of reasons. 1) You won't always have access to the 1.5MW charging. 2) Stopping to charge, even if it's just for a few minutes, is inconvenient. 3) A larger battery will allow for greater lifetime range before it degrades to <80%
