If you hook it up to a third-party charger that can deliver…
This week, BYD officially unveiled and put on sale its two latest compact sedans: the Qin L and Seal 06, two variations on essentially the same thing.

Cadillac, on the other hand, it looking to make big bucks thanks the modularity and at-scale development of GM's Ultium battery platform.
