"China's BYD is launching a luxury electric car in Europe next month that will charge in just five minutes with a range of 800km, challenging Porsche and BMW in their home market.BYD, which overtook Tesla as the world's largest EV maker last year, first demonstrated its "flash charging" technology, which enables an electric vehicle to be charged almost as quickly as filling a car with petrol, a year ago."
Mais do que um avanço técnico, este episódio lembra uma velha ideia da biologia evolutiva: o Red Queen effect. Na história da Rainha Vermelha em Alice no País das Maravilhas, é preciso correr constantemente apenas para permanecer no mesmo lugar. Nos mercados tecnológicos acontece algo semelhante: mesmo os líderes têm de inovar continuamente apenas para manter a posição relativa.
Quando uma empresa acelera, todas as outras são obrigadas a acelerar também.
Entretanto, também ontem, mas no NYT em "Honda Scraps Plans for E.V.s as Industry Divides":
"Honda said Thursday that it would scrap plans for three electric models it had planned to produce in the United States and that it would record its first annual loss since it listed its stock publicly in 1957.
The Japanese carmaker joined Ford Motor, General Motors and Stellantis, the maker of Chrysler and Jeep vehicles, in taking multibillion-dollar hits to their profits as they delayed or canceled plans for electric vehicles and reckoned with the cost of investments in factories that would not pay off.
At the same time, Rivian and Lucid, U.S.-based carmakers that sell only electric vehicles, provided details about models that would be priced under $50,000 and threaten to steal customers from established rivals. Current Rivian and Lucid vehicles start at more than $70,000, placing them out of reach for many buyers."
