BYD is responding to a report that it’s testing solid-state EV batteries in its Tesla Model 3-rivalling Seal. The rumors...

The rumors claimed BYD’s solid-state batteries have an energy density of 400 Wh/kg, or nearly twice that of current lithium-ion batteries.

The report also stated that BYD’s solid-state EV batteries set a record by gaining a 1,500 km (932 miles) range in just 12 minutes of charging.

According to the report, the test charged the battery to only 80%, claiming the total EV range could reach upwards of 1,875 km (1,165 miles).

BYD did not confirm anything of this report, so take it as a rumor for now. Still this sounds pretty impressive to me.

    If the rumor is true, this would blow the longest range ice car out of the water.

    Hopefully evs will be superior in that regard as well!
