Over the weekend, BYD announced on a RedNote livestream that the U9 Xtreme version has now broken the overall production car top speed record, clocking in at 496.22 km/h (308.37 mph). The car had just set the EV top speed record of 472.41 km/h a few weeks ago.  In addition, in its first test at the Nürburgring, it set the EV lap record at 6:59.157. BYD also implied that the top speed was limited by the 500 km/h-rated tires, as the car was still accelerating at the recorded speed. And the lap time was also just the start, with the car electronically limited to 350 km/h.

①BerkshireHathaway has reportedly fully divested its holdings in BYD. ②Southbound capital has recorded net inflows for 18 consecutive weeks. ③The market is betting that interest rate cuts may exceed the Federal Reserve's expectations. ④Li Auto and CATL have reached a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement.

"I never expected to break my own record so soon."

As the company with the highest EV patent count files dozens of patent applications every day, it can be difficult to keep up with BYD. However, a few patents published last week show different approaches to recovering energy from suspension damping. These inventions gained some attention in Chinese media and social media, but BYD appears to be taking a couple of different directions. As they apparently haven’t settled on one path yet, and CleanTechnica readers tend to be a smart bunch who like to nerd out on this type of stuff, I was wondering: which direction do you think would work best?
