Over the weekend BYD introduced a refreshed Han, increasing the battery range of the DM-I (PHEV) to 245 km (152 mi), almost doubling the battery range. More than many early BEV’s and enough range to cover typical weekly usage with a couple of charges. In addition, fuel efficiency once the battery is depleted increased to 3.44 l/100 km (68 mpg). On the BEV Han, range increased to 635 km (394 mi) on mainstream models and 705 km (438 mi) on the top spec, up from 605 km and 701 km on previous models.While new product was being launched, China announced significant regulatory changes: in order to qualify for the purchase tax  exemption, PHEVs would need to have a range of at least 100 km (62 mi) and BEVs would have to meet stricter efficiency targets. Several other regulatory announcements, particularly around pricing, and product announcements were also made over the weekend, with more anticipated. Looking at product and regulation together helps to illustrate BYD's overall position in the changing Chinese market, with implications that extend beyond their borders.

Despite Tesla's historic performance during the third quarter of the year, the US tech giant was once again surpassed by its rival BYD

This company has duped Tesla and betrays BYD in the process by launching new infrastructure, thereby filling a gap in the electric vehicle market

Tesla cuts car prices by $5,000 globally to challenge BYD, which has surpassed it in sales with cheaper EVs. The move seeks to boost volume but struggles against BYD's massive price advantage.

Tesla put up a fight and unleashed a strong third-quarter delivery result, but BYD might continue speeding ahead for the rest of 2025.

Chinese car brands, now available in France, still have only a modest foothold in corporate fleets. However, some, leveraging their considerable resources and technological lead in electric vehicles, make no secret of their ambitions for expansion.

BYD has unveiled the 2026 Seal 05 DM-i, offering a total range of up to 1,243 miles and an improved electric-only range of 80 miles.

The pure electric range has increased from 55 km to 128 km while maintaining the same price at 11,200 USD.

Both the hybrid Han DM-i and all-electric Han EV now offer new variants with longer ranges, while priced lower after limited-time offers.
