Maybe this will help for US sales, but it Tesla sales will likely stay low in other markets.

I think this shows how far US car makers are now behind in this specific industry.

BYD just announced 1MW charging, while US car makers struggle to even get some EVs on the road.

“China fears tech leaking into the US” is not what I expected for 2025

I’m currently comparing Authentik and Authelia. For me, Authentik was extremely easy to get into. Authelia with its text-based configuration is clearly not as easy for beginners.

I’ve started to setup Authentik this weekend. My goal is to learn more about SSO and have one account for most of my selfhosted services.

The graphic says “new city bus sales in 2024”

This graphic only contains the new buses

Yes, the 27 EU contries (since brexit)

Czechia is slower to migrate to electric buses than most EU countries.

The Netherlands, which had once allocated 20% of its new city bus purchases to hydrogen in 2021, has now completely phased it out.

The earlier we accept that hydrogen is a dead end for most road-related use cases, the better. Good that new city buses now run mostly electric.

Thanks for your remark. It’s easy to misinterpret technical papers like this one from OP.

Aditionally, the LFP cells from BYD seem to be more efficient with fast charging, while Tesla’s cells get hot and need much better cooling - emphasis mine.

Comparing this specific heating per volume, the Tesla 4680 cell creates around 2× of the heat to be dissipated at a 1 C load (Figure 8). Thus, when designing a system with the same power requirements, the cooling needed for the Tesla 4680 cells must dissipate approximately 2× more heat per volume than that needed for the BYD cell at the same load. Therefore, the LFP electrode design is more favorable for designing a cooling strategy for fast charging.

Very detailled comparison about to very different cell types. BYD seems to focus on price, whereas the Tesla cells have a 50% higher energy density (and thus probably more range).

I did’t read the full article, as it is a bit too technical for me.

I don’t think this is a very strong reason. Anyone can create a new lemmy server and use “your” username. But the post/comment history would be an easy proof who is the “real” user.

I’m missing the rpi1 in that list. Please fix ASAP.

It’s great to see that electric buses are becoming the norm. Compared to long-distance buses or trucks, these local buses should be quite easy to switch to electric driving.

These percentages sound “off”, because they only reflect the BYD exports in a single month, but the graph really shows the exponential growth:

Dismantle them and build them new inside the bottle probably

Why does each bus get its own DC charger with 180 kw? Is this really necessary?
