I disagree. CATL tech day is annual event, like what Apple, Google, Tesla. It is CATL own pace, nothing to do with BYD.
BYD do car + battery of course it would be faster to adopt.
But what nice car BYD has to offer then you honestly think fun to drive, actually going to buy and can practically afford?
With BMW new iX3 800km+ WLTP, and practically hitting 600km highway, and support 400kw fast charging. Coming i3 is claiming 900km range.
Do we actually need more range?
So what CATL new battery going to revolutionize is not just safety.
With the 200kg lighter + 1500km range (didn't mention capacity and type of car in the test but a major step regardless), the traditional car brands that emphasize driving will scale back battery size maintain at around 800-900km WLTP range to build lighter cars. The fun car gap of EV and ICE will be even narrower, back to focus on driving itself.
Open door to go back to make driving great again, not 内卷 on stupid useless paper spec anymore.
your point noted....regardless, more fruitful competition in this sphere is welcomed, push the industry to innovate better and safer and broader application to the public.BYD do car + battery of course it would be faster to adopt.

The 1000km wltp on normal passenger EV car will be the ultimate calming effect to range anxiety for the regular folks, that will be the bridging point for normal combustion car owners to switch over....this limit will hold till probably end of the decade for more charging stations and fast chargers to be more widely available (probably more so for continental european folks where they like to drive across borders during their holidays)
