developed by BYD to reduce the possibility of battery fires associated with conventional lithium-ion battery cells while also providing a cost-competitive offering for electric cars. According to its sources,says the cars with the BYD structural battery packs will begin rolling off the line later this month or in early September.
The news about the BYD batteries demonstrates how nimble automakers need to be when it comes to sourcing batteries for electric cars.reports that the Model Y built in Germany was originally supposed to feature the latest 4680 battery cells developed by Tesla, but when production of those cells lagged behind expectations, the first cars off the line were equipped with the more common 2170 cells the company has been using for most of its cars for years.
Efficiency could also be a factor. The BYD 55 kWh pack weighs 66 kilograms less than the $60 kWh CATL pack, which helps decrease power consumption to just 155 watt-hours per kilometer, slightly better than the 160 watt-hours per kilometer of the CATL equipped model. We assume the new Model Y with the BYD battery pack is a single-motor vehicle, but there is no official word from Tesla on that.
