Many Thanks. So the good news is that it ramps up faster than the old one, no more 3 min delay. The bad news is it drops the curve quite fast, at only 91kW before reaching 50% charge. My guess is it might be acting same as Atto3 that Bjorn tested. That one kept overheating and rapid-gating, especially when cabin heat was on during charging. He ended up redoing the 1000 km challenge, monitoring the battery temp, to better ride the charge curve, and did 35 min faster. Car Scanner would have been nice here also. I suppose you stayed inside, with heat on, during charging ? Another thing, the user manual page 102 shows a Charge Preheating button (manual option) in Energy → Charging and Discharging menu. Not sure it would have changed anything in your case, because it ramped up to 130kW quite fast. Last thing is the noise. I've watched many reviews, none complain about noise. By contrary, many are happy, they mention double windows and pleasant drive up to 130 kph, no issues. Might be winter tires to have a contribution here ?
How come previous video was 35.3kWh at 110kph average ? Also driving behind EV9 for half the way. While this one is 29.1kWh at 120kph and conditions were similar. Quite a big difference ?
@flaglg4231 this test is done on a variation of different types of roads,l with different speed limits. The average speed is usually 95-100kph in this test. So much lower than in the Range Test. Furthermore. It’s was much milder in this test as well

Thanks for a nice test.
Its a bit strange the charging speed dropped so much at 50% charge. My old Tang charges at 120 kW until 65%

@@KrisRifa Ok, thanks. I thought you went at 120kph constantly, as it was shown in some scenes.
No problem, BYD have recently revealed the all New BYD Han L & Tang L, the 4WD electric version Tang L now has 777bhp.
