BYD makes a lot of batteries, at different price and quality points.

Their own car might not be using the same grade of battery they are selling to Tesla, depending on the price point they are hitting. (Samsung sells their best stuff to Apple, but doesn't use the same high grade materials in their popular A-series phones.)

...or they might be, we need better battery-specific reviews.

We don't care much about the fuel in our cars because they are mostly the same the world over.

Sure we can talk about leaded-unleaded or which RoN we use for petrol, but tbh, the difference far less relevant in the long term. One Pump didn't work out, next time go somewhere else.

Batteries on the other hand...since we lug the damn things around and whatever flavour they came with, will stick with the car of the lifespan of it... that matters a lot.

Is this really even close to the same car or battery?

The article references a 60kWh LFP battery that charges at 170kW peak. The EV database site is an 83kWh LFP with 120kW peak charging...

Also, the Han is a sedan. Y is a crossover.

They are rather good cars. More interesting than a Tesla too in my opinion.
