アメリカが禁止を望む中国のEV大国

アメリカが禁止を望む中国のEV大国

Only only in China would we’d say 
to do his massage and they’re like, “Of course.” Yeah, of course 
they do. What else would it have? Well, imagine driving and the guy in the back 
does this crack cracks a beer open. When you’re thinking electric cars, you’re probably thinking 
Tesla. But there is a company in China that is out selling Tesla and they are the biggest EV 
company in the world. That is BYD. And we are at BYD headquarters. Funny this, right? I got 
a message on Red Note uh probably about 2 weeks ago and a girl that works there, she said, “Do you 
want to come and see the headquarters? Do you want to come and see the headquarters?” And I was a 
little bit like, “Um, can we do that? Come, yeah, of course you want to see the headquarters. Why 
wouldn’t we?” And she went, “Come along. I’ll I’ll sort it out and I’ll meet you inside. I’ll get 
you access and we’ll show you why B are doing it better than anyone else in the world.” So, let’s 
go. So, we’re just here now. We’re just outside the north gate. Um, we need to show our passports. 
We should be able to get registered. But look, this is the car way. I think we need to go over 
there. Ah, hello. There you go. They found us. We um actually got dropped off at the wrong 
location. That is why we are soaking wet. Oh, yeah. We We do look like drown rats, so it’s not 
the best first impression, but we are. This is what we do. Standard, right? First impressions 
of this headquarters. It is super impressive. It’s super big. Obviously, it took us ages to 
walk around it. And we got like the car cars on show here. All these beautiful models. cuz we’re 
going to learn a little bit more about them later. But yeah, it’s really like clean and modern 
and obviously everything seems brand new. Yeah, M’s just waiting for us. We just been to the uh 
the toilets. They got toilets either side and um sort ourselves out a little bit. Yeah, we just 
sort ourselves out. We obviously like like we said by like drown rats at the moment. So uh yeah, just 
like do the old baret a little bit and uh sort myself out. Show us like an awesome video. Proper 
cool. The screen honestly the screen’s massive. Look how big it is. Yeah, just just a little bit 
about the history and about what they’re doing and how like they’re changing a lot of the world and 
stuff with uh electric technology. Yeah. So by the own patterns all over the world. So if you see all 
the different colors are different countries. So no one can really replicate what they’re doing 
because it’s all patterns and mental. Look at all of these. It’s the cars. Look at the eggs. 
Wa. Look at that. So we’re about to find out a little bit about how it all works. Long blade 
battery. Yeah. So this is going to be the first we’re going to check. We call the E43 which is 
a third generation. We designed for our electric car. You can see here this is a blade battery for 
Arcom. It’s okay. If you want to link it and you can come close here like BL batteries here. Yes. 
Oh same. Yes. It’s the same just like a model. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It’s okay. But it’s about the 
same size and the same weight. Yeah. Oh, really? Mhm. Wow. That’s amazing. So, you can see the 
highlight of this platform is the technology we use. We call the cell to body. The C2B technology 
helps to integrate the power component into the body structure. In this way, we can greatly save 
space for people inside. For example, we can leave more leg room for you. So, it will be much 
more comfortable. And then with the space sift, we can put more battery inside. So, we can greatly 
extend the range. Currently the largest range we can triple one pure electric car is about 1,000 
kilometers. So it is from our luxury brand Yan and this one can offer amazing spring time which 
can achieve about 2.36 seconds. So it’s 100km. Yeah. You know this speed is even faster than 
my Ferrari. Currently Ferrari can only achieve 2.5 seconds. Wow. And soon we’re going to launch 
this model into the European market. So this isn’t launched yet? already available in the Chinese 
market right now in China but not globally. So by the end of this year we are going to launch 
this model into the European market. We started with Middle East area and also countries like UAE 
and the UK how much would this cost in China this one cost about $250,000. Wow. Wow. Yes. Cataly 
is the most expensive one. Yeah. For a super car. Yeah. It can still accelerate from zero to 
100 in within 4 seconds. Pull a bus. Look. Yes. Yeah. Wow. So it’s power. It’s powerful. Available 
our function as well. Mind if you want. You can also take a city inside. Okay. If you want to 
like take a photo. You want to come inside? Oh yeah. Okay. Wow. Wow. Yeah, this is like a cabin 
to demonstrate our multiscreen. You can see here like lots of sleep screens and we use the techno 
we call the dlink. The dlink enable us to use this sleep screen at the same time. For example, 
you can use navigation function here. People on any other things we can use online meeting online 
gaming even you can do the like koke at the same time. Really? Yes. It will not interrupt as and 
for the l version now it even enables to switch different screen. For example, when you’re busy 
with driving now, you need to find a new pass. You can have your own voice to relocate it. And yes, 
and you can also have your friends on any other seat to relocate his passport and then switch 
his or her screen to your central panel with just one click. It’s very convenient. Wow. And we 
now also have some specially designed software on the central panel. For example, you can check this 
video. It shows how we can use the central panel to control the taking off, landing off or the 
following up functions of the dome on the roof. We have some Yes, there’s a drone. It’s got a 
drone in the car. On the roof. On the roof. What’s the drone for? It’s for like some exploration for 
the road conditions, you know. And then if you you want like take some footages or so you can you 
send it up and just drive and then it can video. Yeah. Yes. It can like provide some following 
up functions. It can keep pace with your car and then it even can dynamically taking off or land 
up. So how many cars in the in the world have a drone inside them? Currently u I’m not sure about 
the other brands currently but build this kind of function is a available on most of our series 
including the young one function but even as well but this is more like alternative for you 
in it. Wow. Yes. It will cost extra money. I’ve never heard of it. It’s crazy. You know like 
our domes on the roof. It even can help with like taking some footage and then you can do the 
editing works and then upload to your social media with just one click. You don’t even have to stop 
your car during the whole process. That’s mad, isn’t it? You’re driving down the road and just go 
click and then your drone goes up and then it even can do the editing work for you and then it will 
automatically editing. Yes, as well. We have We even have some specially like a specially chosen 
film. Don’t tell our editor that his job is gone. It is hydraulic body control with air suspension. 
You can see it’s our racing car with our Oh, yeah. It goes up and down. So, you can like 
jump in place and you can also dance on spot. Yeah, it’s like um one of them low riders. Yeah, 
you can see here. It even can run stably with one turn missing and the high speed could up to 140 
km. Even one turn is missing. This indicates the ultimate safety that we can provide. It’s all 
automatic like Yes. Does it? Yes. It even can have those pre viewing functions. So it will um 
help you make help with like making the decision before you realizing that. Yeah. So the car 
has a brain. Yes. Wow. I like those structure we have checked. Let’s have a look inside. This 
is amazing. So, this car can float in water and it can also drive on water. Yes. Wow. So, it’s 
like a boat and a car. It’s mad. It’s really nice. The interior is really nice as well. 
Yes. It’s a real You just hit the inter. Oh, it’s okay. You can try any balance. It’s okay. 
It will not drive away. one driveway. Yes. And you can see we have change a lots of details here. 
Even for the screen, normally they would use like a flat one. This is a curved one. So yeah. And 
this one is a curve. Yeah. So when you’re driving, it can provide a better visibility. And this 
is a wireless charger here. And this is a cup holder. Yeah. This is a wireless charger. 
Yeah. And if you may press the button. Oh yeah, you can press You can press the button 
here. This one. Yeah. You can see this is a refrigerator. You can press that. So you 
find the refrigerator. Yeah. And then I can put This is a charger. Yes, you can. Don’t leave your 
phone. It will start charging. Is there a fridge? Yes. Charger. Yes. Is there a fridge? It has a 
fridge in there as well. It has two fridges. Just one fridge. One fridge. Yeah. Fridge can only 
provide some cooling function. It can heat up. The temperature range range is about minus 
5 to 50. So even in the winter if you want like you can have it hot or cold. Just as well. 
Yes. It can heat. Wow. You got TVs for massive boot. Do these seats do they massage as well? 
Yeah, of course. All the seats went to Nushi. Only Only in China would say, “Do these seats 
massage?” And they’re like, “Of course.” Yeah, of course they do. What else would it have? Only 
in China. Yeah. And you can also Yeah. You never buy a car without a massage. You can also check 
the script here. Then not just a decorations, you know. It shows a charging status when you 
charge into a lighter and show. Is it solar? No. That’s the light. You can see there also 
a small LED light here. Okay. So when you’re charging it will light up. Oh yeah. So you know 
your what what power? Yeah. Yeah. So like a power gauge. Yeah. Looks where it’s all dark. It looks 
quite um intimidating. Yeah. We get five of it. Yes. And the price for the Chinese market is 
about like $150,000. Really? Yeah. Yeah. And soon by the end of this year we’re going to 
launch it into the European market as well. Yeah. America because of politics and tariffs that 
they don’t have BYD. Yes. I think I’m sure people that watch our videos are probably realizing 
exactly what they’re missing out on because all these cars are so incredible and they’re 
more than cars. They’re cars. They’re boats, you know, whatever. It’s mad. It’s crazy. Uh, 
yes. I think I’ve been in this car. Yeah. But there is like a special function here. I’m 
going to show you. You can take a seat. It’s not just a massage. It’s very different. Now, just 
relax yourself. Okay. Now, I’m going to show you here. And I can also turn the muscle. No, just 
to relax. You can also relax. It’s not bad. I’m relaxing. Head back. That’s it. Don’t be nervous. 
It’s okay. It’s not going to hurt you. Yeah. Legs up. Imagine this on a long journey. Yeah. Well, 
imagine driving and the guy in the back does this crack cracks a beer open. I’m sure you got a 
fridge there as well. Fridge in the middle, TV. Yeah. How many how many how many cars do you 
know that do this? This is mad. Mhm. You know, this is like the best angle we find that the 
people will be most relaxed and comfortable. That’s why we name it the zero gravity. Yeah. It’s 
even more comfortable than my business class. It’s messy to me. Yeah. Corporation with the company 
grabb you know the caring app. Yeah. They purchase some deny as their premier model. So if next time 
we’re going to hell a car, you can’t really find deny you have to try that. Yeah. Next time I get 
a grab, I want to get I want this seat. Okay, now I’m going to reset. Actually, there be 
like lots of romantic thoughts behind the logo here. Our designer, you see here, if you cover 
here, it resembles the mountains. Yes. Here, this is going to be like the reflection on the 
water. Yes. Of course, our designers want our customers to drive this car to explore the 
nature, to the mountains, to explore the So, it’s like an off-road car. Yeah. And it also 
resembles a herpet. Is this a camera? Yes. Yeah. Are all the well not all the cars are most 
the cars um autonomous autonomous driving. It’s not the autonomous driving because there will be 
like a regulation we call it as assistant driving assistant or even intelligent driving. Yes. Oh, 
okay. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz you’re not technically allowed. Oh are you going to go outside? No, it’s 
more effort. Oh yeah. Okay. Let’s have a look. I’m just going to get in all the cars. Yeah. This is 
also hybrid one. I can a little bit for you more comfortable. Oh yeah. Look, the seat goes back. 
Yeah. These big buttons. Mhm. I’ve noticed as well all the cars have these big screens as well. Yes. 
So, you can use the navigation function easily. Yes. It’s like a much more convenient. When when 
I was a kid, navigation was like this big. Yes. Yeah. And you need to use like a CarPlay. Yeah. 
And you have you had to do that the windows to open your window. Yeah. But here you can just use 
your voice. Really? Voice? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. That car only cost $30,000 as well. Yes. And 
the range could achieve 1,200 km. Yeah. And it gives you a mass gives you a massage. It’s got 
voice voice activated windows. Mhm. Big screen, man. And also intelligent driving. And intelligent 
driving. I like the color. Yeah. It’s a electric car. And the range over this way is about 
like 600 650 km. Yes. We can provide like a wide range of colors. So that’s why we got 
lots of female customers loving this. Yeah. So what’s what’s the um charge? How long between 
charges? Uh, normally uh this one can we can make it full charge to within like 20 to 30 minutes 
right now. And later I show we’re going to show you this car. This has our latest flash charging 
technology. Really? Yeah. So this is our happy we just launched into the market last month and it 
can combine with our flash charging technology. So it can charge 5 minutes for 400 km. Wow. Wow. 
So So what about full charge? How how how many kilometers? It’s about like um the first is about 
like 700 km. We have two versions the pure UV and also hybrid one. The hybrid one can offer range 
about like 1,00 and 300 km. It’s different. Your choice cuz BYD make their own batteries. Yeah. 
Yes. Oh wow. I like it. It is even waterproof in it. I think in summer if you want to like 
put some ice in it, you can even leave a bottle of champagne inside. And if a person who loves to 
go fishing, you can leave your fish here. Really? Yeah. So you don’t have to smell it. Some people 
don’t like those from the Yeah. the smelly fish. When when when when you look at Tesla and then 
you look at BY and you think like how can Tesla even compete? It’s like it’s unmatched, isn’t it? 
It’s amazing. And they’ve got so many such a big variety of different cars as well. Yeah. So it’s 
um in the old In the old days, people would walk around carrying it. Now the robots do it all. 
Yes. That’s why the automation can’t achieve 97. Exactly. Yeah. And it people got to remember 
because everyone thinks trying to produce things cheap and trying to produce things fast that 
it’s poor quality. It’s the only reason it’s cheap is because their their uh infrastructure is 
so much better. Technology. Technology is better. Yeah. That one this one has amazing acceleration 
time which can accelerate from zero to 100 in within 2.7 seconds. 2 this one 2.7 seconds. Wow. 
Wow. It kind of like a racing car. Yeah. Yeah. Super car. Yes. Amazing. And these are some like 
cutaway models. These are the models we donated to those universities. It looks like a bit like a 
Mustang. To help the students to under the stress of the car. Okay. Yeah. Right. We’re going to 
go for a little uh test drive. They got their um latest model and that and they’re going to 
uh going to show us exactly what it’s made of. It’s their test drive area. Wow. Right. So, these 
are all the cars. We’re going to test it through. We’re going to start with the U8. This is the 
one that could do the uh on the spot turn and also drive in water. So, it’s a it’s pretty 
pretty big deal. Wa. [Applause] Oh my god. [Applause] Madness. Oh, Mentor. Let’s take the 
U8 for a little test drive. This is obviously the one we’ve been looking at all day with 
all the cool features. Seat belt on. I just saw him do it a minute ago. He’s pretty crazy. 
Yeah, we can also do the on sport tank turn. We’ll do the tank turn as well. Yeah, he 
loves it. Exezer. He absolutely loves it. She’s prepared. Yeah. Seat belts on. You know, we 
also be some crazy drivers sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. You can do the 10. This one. I always have to 
like hold my So, it’s all cool. It’s all It’s all on this screen here. Obviously, if you’re stuck 
at in a a tight space and you can’t turn around, you can’t do your three-point turn. Look, it’s 
just turn. It’s literally turning on the spot. How crazy is this? You can even change the speed 
of recording speed, you know, just turning on on the spot. How does it work then? Do the tire do 
the wheels turn right around? Yes, we have like four independent electric motors on the four 
tires. Oh, yeah. Independent. I actually can’t believe a car can actually do this. It’s madness. 
Absolute madness. Feeling like it’s so busy. Yeah. Just turning around by itself. Oh, different 
movies. Oh, it’s already started. This should be like a Chinese movie. Oh, you got you got you 
got the stuff in the back over here. Yeah. Yeah. He’s going through. He got his phone attached. 
He got music. He’s giving me a massage as well as we’re going. It’s giving me a massage. That is 
so cool. Sunroof open. Mhm. Now we’re free. Oh, you done? You can do it from back there. Mhm. 
Yeah. So, you can control everything from back there. Around. Yeah. That’s the Yeah. You got 
kids. Put child lock on it. Do you want to try the acceleration right now? Let’s try. 
Let’s try everything. Yeah. Okay. Whoa. [Laughter] Oh my god. Something you expect. No. That is crazy. 
That’s like on a ride in America. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Literally, it’s like 
being like being on on a roller coaster. It’s very heavy. It’s actually 
so tender. acceleration is quite amazing and we have like two ways of the auto 
parking. You can choose to stay here or we can choose like leave the car and then 
you can see the car will park itself. Yeah, we we’ll leave the car because we see it there. 
So the car is going to literally park itself. So we’re all getting out and mate is going to get out 
as well. Oh, do you open it? Yeah, this one. No, this one. Yeah, double double piece. Oh yeah. 
Double click. Can’t even get out of the thing, mate. You celebrated that. Yeah, 
my heart my heart’s still beating out my chest. Yep. He’s getting out. 
Yeah. So, it’s going to park itself. Literally nobody in it. Parking itself. Where’s he? Where is he parking? I don’t know. 
He parking here. Felt like I was in the way of him then. He’s going to run me over. He’s a 
good driver though. He’s smarter than me. Wow. That as well. Perfectly straight. Give us a little 
flash of his lights and perfectly look perfectly in line. 100% 100% accurate parking. Totally 
autonomous. And it’s starting to rain. start wet now. A different way. It can do the outspot 
turning with the front tire fixed to the spot. So, it’s very different. So, it is going to 
Right. We’re going to try the N9. This one’s uh also does the uh turning as well, 
but this is one of their like fast models. More of a family car. Yeah. Normally, 
we will offer like a sevenseater. Oh, right. Okay. So, you got plenty of room back 
there. They are they massage chairs? Yes. See, it’s all voice activated. We got a fridge. 
So, yeah, every car’s got the wireless charging as well. Okay. So, controls you can charge his 
phone. Oh, yeah. There’s a fridge. And I can sit here and have a nice cold beer. No beers in 
there. No beers in there. You know, no beers. Oh, he’s massaging me. I’m getting I’m getting a 
massage here. So, we got beers. We got massage. We got him driving us around and voice activated 
and it’s about to turn on the spot as well. So you want this is kind of the same but 
different way like one tire fix. Yeah. He wants to turn around here and three others. Yeah. 
One one’s fixed and then three. Yeah. It’s going on. It’s pivoting on this. Doing a 180. Doing a 
180 on this. So look, we’re turning on the spot. Absolutely mad. Have you ever seen a car do that? 
Seriously? Yeah. So, you your front two tires are going and then it’s it’s going this in a in a 
diagonal sort of method. Mhm. Yeah. See? Yeah. So, normally a car will will go it where like you 
turn the steering wheel and go in a direction, but this one will go these these direct 
these directions you can’t normally go. So is every BYD model got the big screen? Yeah. 
And we can provide the like multi screen. Yeah. You can see this is like a different way from that 
one. And we got a little mirror here. I like this charging. Is this wireless charging? Yeah, this 
is wireless charging. You got the charger here. Got it all. Just put your phone inside. Got 
everything. Seats back here. Yeah. And we also got those buttons on your seat so you can change 
the angles you want. Oh, so you can turn the seat around. Yeah. As you can see, you can find on your 
right side. How much would this one cost in China? So, it’s a kind of like uh uh 60,000 60,000. Yeah. 
60,000 to 80,000. Yeah. It’s a different range. Yeah. Different version. Depends what you have. 
Yeah. This is like do for the kokei. So if you are going to have like a long trip, you know, you can 
have karaoke. Yes, you can do the karaoke. It’s a car with built-in karaoke. Oh my god. Go on, Ben. 
Sing. I am not a good singer. Maybe you can try. I love the Q stick as well. Oh my god. Put some for me. I have no idea the 
words. My demon. That’s language. You’re sitting on the platform. Karaoke massage in a car. 
Every function that you can imagine. 80 grand. That’s mental. So crazy. Next to the car. 
Yeah. And if you would detect you try to keep in line. Yeah. And it will detect the 
distance as well. Winter gets heavier. Oh, he’s taking us out. He’s driving us. 
Yes. You don’t have to feel the rain. Oh, you don’t have to do open 
your car. He’s going to show you the electric section door. Just going 
to open. You can change your voice. Whoa. It’s kind of like a chauffeer for you. 
Sh. I’ll do it for you. That is good. I mean, how can any country in the world compete with 
someone just sat there speaking and then the doors open? I mean, my mind is blown. We just 
stopped for a coffee and stuff and we’re in their canteen area and they’ve got, which I thought was 
quite mental. So, they’ve got a Ronaldo shirt here and it’s signed by Cristiano Ronaldo. Yeah. If 
you don’t know who Cristiano Ronaldo is, do live under a rock, man. He’s he’s like possibly I mean 
it’s debatable Ronaldo or Messi but he’s possibly the best footballer of all time. All right. So you 
have got a souvenir shop here. Look these jackets don’t you? 215. 215. Yeah, was it? Need a walk 
jacket. 215. What? Like 215? 20? Yeah. 22 English. Yeah. All stuff. These little models. I’m sure 
people buy them as well. Have a look at that. BYD perfect. Yeah, we’re sitting here. Yeah, 
more heat. Yeah, more seats. Right, we’re in the taxi. It is absolutely pelted it 
down outside. Look at that. Got wet. Actually, so nice with they um put umbrellas over our 
head. Like super super nice. Everyone’s been absolutely lovely today. BY have treated us like 
absolute kings. It’s been so good. So good going for the test drive. Honestly, the vehicles have 
absolutely blown me away. I don’t actually don’t think anyone else can compete with what BY 
are doing at the moment. It’s not only cars, it’s also like infrastructure in cities that 
they’re developing their own batteries that everything they’re doing is just incredible. And 
yeah, it’s it’s it’s been this was sort of off the cuff. It’s not no sponsor, no sponsor on this 
video. This is um total just mind-blowing stuff and and we got plenty more to come from China and 
plenty more travel to come. So if you love travel, if you love China, if you love EVs, if you love 
anything to do with technology, subscribe. [Music]
