Tesla Model 3 And BYD Han EV Battery Comparison: Cooling Systems Explained via InsideEVs
Both packs are similar in size but differ in multiple areas, as per the mechanic who pointed out the differences in a Twitter video. Tesla's battery gets a metal top shell, while the Blade pack’s top cover is plastic. The metal shell would have better recyclability and attract a higher resale price, said the mechanic.
The Model 3’s pack also appears better put together. It is bolted using screws and gelatin-based structural adhesive while the Blade battery only uses screws. Even though that makes BYD's pack easy to disassemble, the Tesla battery is better sealed.Serviceability could be Tesla's forte. The 2170 cells are packed into four modules, which can be individually disassembled if damaged cells need replacement.
For thermal management, the Blade pack uses a cooling plate mounted over the cells, through which the coolant flows to manage cell temperatures. Tesla’s cooling sheets are wrapped around the cells within the modules, and appear to cover more cell area, resulting in improved cooling consistency. BYD’s thermal management is like pressing an ice-cold water bottle against your cheeks in hot weather, while Tesla’s cooling system is simply drinking that water, as per the narrator's analogy.
