BYD’s surpassing of Tesla in global battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales in 2025 marks a pivotal shift in the global new energy vehicle landscape. This milestone reflects not only divergent market strategies, but also differences in the stage of EV adoption across price segments.

Several accounts on Chinese social media Xiaohongshu (RedNote) have revealed images of the next generation of BYD “Flash Chargers” (aka, “megawatt chargers”). According to the label on the plastic wrap surrounding the charge gun, the 1000 V DC chargers offer up to 1200 kW of charging power, presumably for each gun. Other labels indicate 1500 kW and 2100 kW, which could be for the pile with two charge guns or some other system-level output. We will need to wait for confirmation. Of note, BYD’s current flash chargers introduced last March offer 1360 kW per pile, accessible via both charge guns used simultaneously. So, this is likely a bit of a performance upgrade.

Chinese car brands’ inroads in Mexico have unnerved Washington, rattled established automakers and alarmed the Mexican government, which is throwing up trade barriers. But even in the face of  new tariffs, China-made cars face little competition in the country’s growing market for electric vehicles. Cheap prices, government subsidies and a growing charging network all point to continued sales growth for China’s automakers in the country. Bloomberg News Mexico Business Reporter Amy Stillman details the rise of brands like BYD just across the border from the United States, and what it signals about car market competition and trade.
