“When you order Starbucks app on the highway, the Tesla Roadster in the next lane has already completed the 100 km acceleration in 2.1 seconds, and paid for your coffee by the way.”

 

— This is not a science fiction movie, but a real script of the electric car circle in 2025.

 

In the electric car market in 2025, “a range of over 1,000 km” has long been a basic operation, just like the lettuce leaves in American hamburgers – it can’t be done without it, but the focus is all on the patties. Today we will take stock of five tough guys that make fuel cars tremble and electric cars feverish. Each one hides black technology that subverts the industry, and each one may change your perception of cars.

 

 

Battery life: 1,000 kilometers (CLTC)

 

Price: Starting from US$40,000 (for reference only)

 

Black technology: The world’s first mass-produced sulfide all-solid-state battery

 

This time, BYD is not playing “wolf”, but directly throwing an atomic bomb. The sulfide all-solid-state battery equipped with the Sea Lion 07 EV has an energy density of up to 500Wh/kg, which is equivalent to putting the strength of 100 mules into a tool box. What’s more exaggerated is that it supports charging 400 kilometers in 10 minutes, which is faster than charging your mobile phone.

 

 

Imagine that you run out of power on the highway, plug the car into the super charging pile, and in the time it takes to browse Tik Tok, the battery life jumps directly from 0 to 400. This is not charging, it is clearly giving the car a “chicken blood”. What’s more, in an extremely cold environment of -30℃, its battery life only decreases by 7%, which is more resistant to freezing than fuel vehicles.

 

 

Battery life: 1,070 kilometers (semi-solid battery)

 

Price: Starting from US$72,000 (for reference only)

 

Black technology: 3-minute battery swap + LiDAR smart driving

 

 

NIO ET7 tells you what is the “ultimate salvation for lazy people”. Semi-solid batteries allow its battery life to exceed 1,000 kilometers, and what’s even more amazing is that the battery swap station allows you to be fully revived in 3 minutes. Imagine that you run out of power on the I-95 highway, and drive directly into the battery swap station. While you drink a sip of Coke, the battery is automatically replaced like a “Transformer”, faster than refueling.

 

In terms of intelligent driving, the ET7 is equipped with 4 Orin chips + LiDAR, and it can automatically overtake at high speeds as steadily as an experienced driver. A car owner tested it and drove from New York to Boston without touching the steering wheel. The golden retriever in the passenger seat was stunned.

 

 

Range: 1,420 kilometers (plug-in hybrid)

 

Price: Starting from US$43,000 (for reference only)

 

Black technology: “True Dragon” plug-in hybrid system + parent-child bed mode

 

 

Who says electric cars can’t take care of the family? Buick GL8 Lu Shang directly crushes “range anxiety”. The “True Dragon” plug-in hybrid system equipped in the entire series has a comprehensive range of 1,420 kilometers, which is equivalent to driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and back. What’s more, its fuel consumption when it is out of power is only 6.68L/100 kilometers, which is more fuel-efficient than many fuel vehicles.

 

The interior design is even more “Dad’s ecstasy”: the second and third rows of seats can rotate 180° and turn into a parent-child bed in seconds; the 540° panoramic image makes parking like playing “Mario Kart”; there is even an external discharge function, which can cook hot pot and grill steak when camping.

 

 

Range: 705 kilometers (800V high-voltage platform)

 

Price: Starting from US$37,000 (for reference only)

 

Black technology: Huawei ADS 3.0 + Hongmeng cockpit

 

 

This time, Huawei is playing “dimensionality reduction”. The Huawei ADS 3.0 smart driving system equipped in the Zhijie New S7 can identify the takeaway brother on the roadside, the electric car driving in the opposite direction, and even the squirrel that suddenly crosses the road. Actual measurements show that its lane change success rate in downtown Shanghai is as high as 98%, which is more stable than that of an experienced driver.

 

The 800V high-voltage platform allows it to charge for 15 minutes and have a range of 400 kilometers. With the “seamless flow” function of the Hongmeng cockpit, the mobile navigation can be directly projected to the car computer, and the co-pilot can also watch Douyin and TV series. One car owner joked: “This is not driving, it is clearly sitting in the Huawei flagship store for mobile office.”

 

 

Range: 1,000 kilometers

 

Price: Starting from US$34,000 (for reference only)

 

Black technology: 400km/h top speed + rocket thruster

 

This time, Tesla is playing the ultimate version of “Fast and Furious”. The Roadster 2.0 is equipped with a three-motor system, accelerating from 0 to 100km/h in 2.1 seconds, 0.5 seconds faster than the Porsche 911 Turbo S. What’s more exaggerated is that its maximum speed exceeds 400km/h, which is equivalent to flying 6.6 kilometers per minute, which is faster than the high-speed rail.

 

 

In terms of battery life, it uses a new battery technology, and the 1,000-kilometer battery life allows supercars to travel long distances. What’s more, after installing the rocket thruster, the acceleration can be further increased by 1.1 seconds, directly turning into a “ground fighter”.

 

 

In 2025, the mass production of solid-state batteries will completely change the rules of the game. CATL’s sulfide battery has an energy density of 450Wh/kg, and BYD’s upgraded version of the blade battery has a battery life of over 1,000. Even Toyota can’t sit still – they originally planned to mass-produce solid-state batteries in 2027, but now they are forced to advance.

 

What does this mean?

 

Charging time: 80% full in 10 minutes, comparable to the speed of refueling.

 

Low temperature performance: -30℃ battery life decays less than 10%, and northern users finally raise their eyebrows.

 

Safety performance: There is no fire in the needle puncture test, and my mother no longer has to worry about me driving.

 

 

Charging anxiety? Non-existent

The number of supercharging stations in China has exceeded 3,000, and there must be a supercharging pile within 3 kilometers of the core business district of first-tier cities. Download the “Xingxing Charging” and “Telaidian” apps to check the status of the charging piles in real time, which is more convenient than checking the queue at the restaurant.

 

Is the battery life false? The actual test data speaks

Official actual tests show that the winter battery life achievement rate of mainstream models exceeds 50%. BYD Han EV can still run 366 kilometers in a -40℃ environment, which is lower than the cold start fuel consumption of fuel vehicles.

Value retention rate? The top brands have counterattacked.

 

The three-year residual value rate of Tesla Model 3 is 58%, and the three-year residual value rate of BYD Han EV is 55%, and the gap with fuel vehicles is getting smaller and smaller.

 

 

 

The electric vehicle market in 2025 is no longer the primitive era of “battery life competition”. BYD rewrites the rules with solid-state batteries, NIO reshapes the energy replenishment experience with battery replacement, Huawei defines the future with smart driving, and Tesla challenges the limit with speed. These cars are not only means of transportation, but also the crystallization of technology and art.

 

If you are still hesitating whether to buy an electric car or a fuel car, think about it: when you are queuing at the gas station, the electric car owner in the next lane is using his mobile phone to control the air conditioner at home; when you are worried about the soaring oil prices, they are using super charging piles to “kill” time. This is not a choice, but the trend of the times.

 

Voting time:

A. BYD Haisheng 07 EV: the “king bomb” player of solid-state batteries

 

B. Weilai ET7: the “perpetual motion machine” in the battery replacement industry

 

C. Buick GL8 Lu Shang: the “range monster” in the MPV industry

 

D. Huawei Zhijie New S7: the “Iron Man” in the smart driving industry

 

E. Tesla Roadster: the “Flash” in the supercar industry

 

Which car are you most looking forward to? Or do you have any crazier ideas? Let’s “brainstorm” together!

“The future of cars is not four wheels plus a sofa, but four wheels plus a supercomputer.”
