BYD's $20 Battery Just Ended the Last Argument Against Renewables

BYD's $20 Battery Just Ended the Last Argument Against Renewables A Tesla Robotaxi was sitting alone at a curb in Austin — no driver, no safety monitor — and walked away with a $75 parking ticket nobody could claim. That same week, Tesla expanded unsupervised coverage to the entire Austin Metro area: four thousand square miles, bigger than Rhode Island. The fare? Eleven dollars. The fleet covering all of it? Twenty cars. We break down the Cybercab's newly confirmed EPA specs (the most efficient EV ever certified at 165 Wh/mi), how Tesla's $11 fares compare to Waymo and Lyft, and what twenty driverless cars covering four thousand square miles actually means for the 1.5 million Americans who drive for Uber and Lyft right now.
