BYD unveiled the Seal 08, its new flagship electric sedan, at the Beijing Auto Show this weekend. The vehicle packs BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery targeting over 1,000 km of CLTC range and megawatt-level flash charging that adds 400 km of range in five minutes. It marks the first time the Blade Battery 2.0 and flash charging combination land in a full-size sedan, positioning it as a direct challenger to higher-end electric sedans.
BYD is about to open another massive EV plant overseas with 150,000 vehicle capacity
The world’s largest electric vehicle maker is becoming a force in the global auto market. BYD confirmed it’s on track to open another massive EV plant overseas by the end of 2025. The new facility in Indonesia will be able to produce 150,000 vehicles a year as BYD expands its overseas manufacturing footprint. After selling a record over 4.27 million new energy vehicles (NEVs) last year, BYD is turning up the pressure in 2025. Tesla topped BYD by about 25,000 units last year for the global EV sales crown. However, in terms of production, China’s leader sneaked past Tesla by about 4,500 vehicles to claim the title of “World’s largest EV maker” for 2024.
