In August, while the overall national auto market was declining, a brand achieved an 88.1% growth.

BYD is proving that the only way to conquer the world is through technology. With its blade battery pack, self-developed SiC power control, and BYD OS vehicle-cloud collaboration, all software and hardware are self-sufficient, and BYD is advancing further and further along the road of technology. We used to say that BYD was overtaking on the bend, but in hindsight, BYD is simply not following the traditional path taken by traditional auto companies. The car that BYD wants to overtake on the bend is in fact BYD itself.

In conclusion, BYD’s confidence comes from its technological self-awareness. At the stage when everyone else was still focusing on “oil to electric” at the beginning of the new energy transition, BYD persisted in self-developing. While others were struggling to come up with ideas for a 20 cents national subsidy, BYD had already prepared for platformization. And when everyone else started to platformize, BYD had already entered the 3.0 era.

In the future, unless the sky falls, no one can surpass BYD!

On September 8th, the day after the end of the Chengdu International Auto Show, the low-profile BYD officially released its new electric drive platform — e Platform 3.0, and this is just the beginning.

What will future cars look like?

Solution:

Given that e Platform 3.0 has four features: Intelligent, Safe, Efficient, and Aesthetically pleasing,
Then, Intelligent + Safe + Efficient + Aesthetically pleasing = Future Cars.

Of course, this question is not simply an addition. Behind each feature, there are countless additions, subtractions, multiplications, and divisions.

Intelligent

The high-integration domain controller with increased computing power, combined with BYD OS software and hardware, makes the highly centralized computing power of e Platform 3.0 even smarter and iterative, bringing users a fast-responding intelligent driving experience. The ability of vehicle-cloud collaboration allows e Platform 3.0 to have the ability to continuously evolve beyond current cars. And the self-evolution of e Platform 3.0 is not just an upgrade of the application ecology on the surface, but also an iterative upgrade of software such as driving, transmission, and body.

Safe

Have you seen the needle penetration test of blade battery? The e-platform 3.0 not only uses the safest blade battery in the world, but also incorporates the battery pack as a structural component of the vehicle, doubling the stiffness of the entire vehicle. This is in line with BYD’s motto: safety is the greatest luxury of electric vehicles!

Efficiency

The 8-in-1 electric powertrain integrates eight components, including the drive motor, electronic control system, reducer, on-board charger, DC converter, power distribution box, vehicle controller, and battery manager, into one assembly.

While maximizing space utilization, the driving and control efficiency has also been improved. The overall efficiency of the e-platform 3.0’s 8-in-1 electric powertrain exceeds 89%. BYD’s independently developed silicon carbide electronic control chip reduces losses by 70%, and is matched with a 97.5% efficient motor. E-platform 3.0 delivers efficient power with a hard-core strength!

Aesthetics

Thanks to the e-platform 3.0’s extra-long wheelbase, the four wheels are closer to the four corners of the vehicle body. This not only enhances handling, but also extends the interior space of the e-platform 3.0’s vehicles.

As the body can be designed to be slender, vehicles based on the e-platform 3.0 architecture will have a low aerodynamic drag with a streamlined design.

Integrating intelligence, safety, efficiency, and aesthetics, that’s the look of future vehicles, that’s BYD’s e-platform 3.0 vehicles.

In other words, BYD vehicles built on the e-platform 3.0 architecture are the future of automobiles.

Duoli Jun’s Words:

After all said and done, a car model born on the e-platform 3.0 has already come out and, after seeing the actual car at this year’s Chengdu Auto Show, we must say it is amazing.

That’s the Dolphin. In addition to the BYD Dynasty series, the future blueprint of BYD will also feature more advanced Ocean series, while the independent brand positioned as the luxury brand may also emerge on the e-platform 3.0.

BYD is putting a lot of effort into creating the e Platform 3.0, while BYD itself is rapidly developing in all its industries. Even with regards to the future of electric vehicle batteries, BYD already has a plan. In BYD’s plan, these old batteries will be utilized as storage batteries for photovoltaic power generation.

Chips, which everyone is concerned about, is BYD’s strength. It is worth noting that BYD’s semiconductor business started earlier than its automotive business, so in terms of automotive-grade chips, BYD is fully capable of self-sufficiency while selling and exporting to other automotive brands.

Furthermore, in terms of battery R&D, BYD is the only battery brand in the world that uses puncture testing as its enterprise standard, and the blade battery is undoubtedly the world’s safest battery. BYD will continue to maintain advanced technology and the most comprehensive battery safety guarantees.

From every detail, to platform architecture, BYD has gone from overtaking on a bend to continually leading the industry. While achieving independence in all aspects, BYD also provides the latest technology to the world, giving new energy vehicle companies a more comprehensive choice of vehicles. Awesome! I’m BYD!
