Chinese automaker and battery manufacturer BYD reports progress on novel battery types that could lead to more affordable electric vehicles in the future.

One year behind schedule, Chinese manufacturer BYD aims to exceed 50,000 new registrations in Germany this year. This would be more than double the 23,306

BYD has achieved breakthroughs in Sodium-ion and solid-state batteries, touting 10,000 cycles and faster charging times.

BYD said that the mass production timeline for its sodium-ion batteries will be determined based on market and customer demand.

The updated BYD Denza Z9 GT arrives with a power boost and a significantly larger battery for its hybrid model.

According to leaked reports from China, BYD is working on a 2nd-gen version of its Flash Charging megawatt charging system, which may reach 1.5 MW of power.

Boonray has developed an autonomous, battery-swapping electric mining truck and BYD just gave it a multimillion dollar vote of confidence.

As Zack recently posted, BYD’s sales were down 30.7% in January. BYD sold 210,051 NEVs, which still put it in first place, well ahead of Geely with 124,252. Geely, however, also sells ICE vehicles, which saw significant sales growth to bring their total to 270,167. Due to selling primarily ICE vehicles, Geely overtook BYD as China’s largest automaker overall in January. However, BYD’s decline was limited to China, with export sales totaling 100,009, up 43% YoY. Sales were up over 1000% in Germany in January, more than double Tesla sales. At this rate, BYD could soon sell more cars outside of China than within it.But there are several factors, particularly within China, that are influencing the overall sales picture.
