BYD, the Chinese brand
BYD stands for Build Your Dreams and it is a Chinese company which manufactures electric and other types of vehicles. They have been growing so fast in the electric vehicles (EVs) world that now they are even competing with Tesla, the biggest company on this matter. How are they doing it?
What’s China doing?
Hina has always been considered a powerful country when it comes to engineering and technology. Their amazing capacity to make complex and modern products has reached the automotive industry. However, this success is also thanks to the Chinese government support which has made possible the fast development of companies.
BYD is launching a new supercar which will revolutionize the EVs world worldwide, this Chinese supercar is the Han L and it’s catching everybody’s attention.
Let’s talk about the new Chinese supercar
We know there are other supercars out in the market, but what makes the Han L so special compared to what has already been launched? This new Chinese supercar has so many fascinating features, you’ll see!
- It has 1,086 horsepower which makes it so powerful, because an average vehicle has between 100 and 200 horsepower.
- It includes two engines and traction on every wheel to drive faster and be more stable.
- It can reach 60 miles per hour in just 2.7 seconds, which is as fast as most expensive cars in the world, like the Bugatti Chiron. Imean, can you even imagine how fast that is?
- It can drive through 372 miles only being charged once.
- Its battery can be fully charged within 24 minutes, faster than Tesla’s EVs.
Automotive industry
In 2022, the Chinese automotive industry earned $462.9 billion. It’s true that the year before it gained more, but it’s still a lot of money having in mind the Chinese automotive industry started working later than the American one. This shows how fast Chinese companies are growing in this field, making people more confident to start buying Chinese cars. I mean, they are more modern, more powerful and cheaper.
Is Tesla in danger?
Well, if BYD keeps growing this fast, it is probable the Chinese company will take Tesla’s position in the EVs world. Why? Because BYD is selling more electric cars in some parts of the world, earning more money and having more success in Asia. What’s more, they are gaining a foothold on the markets in Africa.
You might think there’s a tricky part with this Chinese electric supercar, are you thinking about its price? Let me tell you it’s not. Even though this supercar includes the latest technology and a futuristic design, it costs around $40,000 which is way cheaper than other electric cars, like the Tesla Model Y or the Chevrolet Equinox.
So, let’s not focus on just one company because the automotive industry will keep growing with companies from all over the world. Don’t you think so?
