Volkswagen, BYD target long range as Tesla Roadster set for Oct. 1 reveal
Competition in the electric vehicle industry is heating up again around long-range driving, ultra-fast charging and advanced autonomous driving. Volkswagen highlighted a long-range EV concept targeting up to 1,000 miles by maximising efficiency rather than increasing battery capacity. BYD unveiled an electric semi-truck with about 600 km range that supports 1.5-megawatt “flash charging”. Tesla again set a Roadster reveal for Oct. 1, as questions persist over delays and real-world autonomous driving performance.
