Off-topic: why to write kph when the most logical way would be to write kmh, km/h or kmph? kph translates to 'kilo per hour". km/h would be the mathematically correct.

Yeah it weird and the article used 2 notation as well km/h and kph
Because kph is the most recognisable term to most people without having to stop and think about it for a couple seconds
No it's not. Countries that properly to metric cultural eons ago refer to it as km/h in signage, speedometers, and literature.
Probably a regional thing.
Ok. This has to be something that's different in America and Europe then. At least here, in Finland, we always write km/h.
Because I was one who needed to pause for a second until I got what kph meant.
Yeah, it's probably regional
To think of it - I think the only occasion where we use p in place of / is rpm.

Eww
I didn't know BYD made sportscars too. Cool.
The name, though...
yeah, that's among the car names of all time.
Yeah but what if I want to bbq my steak instead of microwaved it? There's no soul to microwaved steak.... Or whatever it is the anti EV crowd bust out.
They definitely need a different brandname if they're going to be selling these outside of China though 😬 Why not just stick with BYD?
