    You know, at some point BYD is going to build something awesome... you just know it's going to happen. Almost all of the truly great cars have been the result of one person's (or a small group's) vision and belief in what they're doing.


    This guy's got that.

    I thought this was gonna be another carpocalypse article in which dishonoured Chinese auto exec drinks auto fluid to kill himself.


    But no, if anyone wanted to commit suicide in China, they'd drink milk.

    Lead joke? Check.

    Crash test rating? Check.


    These comments are a given on any China-related article. Sigh.

    So first you drink some battery fluid, plug a cord to your ass and you´re ready to go. The engineers at BYD told me that soon there is no need for the cord and a special adaptor will be mounted in the drivers seat.

    Toxicity of battery fluid is a non-issue. They are marketing a non-performative characteristic of their new batter tech because they think it can give them a competitive advantage. What would be significant are things like energy density, charging and recovery rates, cost of production, recycling of materials at end of production and end of life cycle.


    Perhaps our gimlet eyed jalop-writerers could focus on that a bit?

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Energy density and charging have been covered previously, production cost= it is china, recycling= not just the responsibility of the producer, but also of the consumer.

    Although they still have to go a long long way, China is investing huge amounts in environmental programs, much more than any other country.

    What a badass. I love it when people actually give a shit with what they're doing in the world. Couldn't you see Henry Ford sitting down with a nice glass of battery fluid after his daily exercise of beating orphans with shipping crates made specifically out of the right kind of wood so that when they've been emptied of their contents he may use their pliable material to inflict worlds of hurt on the young and parent-less?

    Potable battery fluid would be perfect for post-apocalyptic survival vehicles. When your hybrid/electric Unimog finally runs out of power and your stranded in the desert somewhere, you can drink the fluid from the batteries to stay alive. And probably get a wicked case of the runs.
