Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
BYD unveiled the Seal 08, its flagship electric sedan, at the Beijing Auto Show. The vehicle features the second-generation Blade Battery (Blade Battery 2.0) and megawatt-level flash charging, targeting over 1,000 km of CLTC range with the ability to add 400 km of range in just five minutes.
