Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The decision to purchase an electric\nvehicle often begins with the same questions: battery safety, range and\ndistance, and durability. According to Luther Panjaitan, Head of Public\nand Government Relations at PT BYD Motor Indonesia, these questions are\nreasonable. To address them, BYD has prepared technology hidden behind\neach of its products.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the majority of global automotive manufacturers still depend on\nbattery supply chains from third parties, BYD has already mastered the\nentire process itself, from battery cell chemistry to vehicle software,\u201d\nhe stated on Monday (6\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n
He explained that this vertical approach is not merely about cost\nefficiency. It is a structural advantage that cannot be copied in one or\ntwo years. He added that the fear of EV batteries catching fire is not\nparanoia. However, BYD\u2019s Blade Battery answers this in the most concrete\nway.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn official testing, when the battery cell was pierced with a steel\nnail, there was no smoke, no fire, and the surface temperature remained\nunder control,\u201d Luther revealed.<\/p>\n
He explained that the battery features a flat, elongated cell design\narranged without intermediate modules, distributing heat evenly and\nsignificantly suppressing the risk of thermal runaway.<\/p>\n
Concerns also arise regarding range, especially for users who\nfrequently travel inter-city routes. In this regard, BYD offers an\nintegrated innovation, the e-Platform 3.0, which unifies the motor,\nbattery, and drive system designed to maximise energy efficiency in\nevery condition.<\/p>\n
\u201cA Jakarta-Bandung trip is no longer a matter of stressful charging\ncalculations,\u201d he clarified.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, according to Luther, BYD products pay attention to the\ndriving feel of the electric vehicle on the road. BYD\u2019s Cell-to-Body\n(CTB) technology integrates the battery directly into the body\nstructure, rather than simply placing it under the floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe result is a lower centre of gravity, a more solid body when\ncornering, and more responsive steering. This is a consequence of a\ndesign that treats the battery as part of the vehicle\u2019s architecture,\nnot an additional component,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Another innovation is DiLink, which intuitively connects the driver\nto the vehicle. DiPilot works actively as a driving assistance system,\nproviding lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency\nbraking without taking over control.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is present in the background, works when needed, and does not\nfeel intrusive. Ultimately, the best technology is the one that makes\nusers not have to think about the technology. Just drive, the rest is\ntaken care of,\u201d Luther concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/consumers-must-know-understand-the-technology-behind-evs-before-buying-1783493512", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
