In a major interview with German media, BYD Vice President Stella Li revealed her ambition to take the company to the top of the automotive industry. In Europe, it is focusing on electric cars and plug-in hybrids, launching production in Hungary and considering a third plant, while the US is not yet a priority. BYD wants to impress with its technology and plans to build 6,000 "flash" chargers with a capacity of up to 1.2 MW, which will add 400 km of range in five minutes. Li describes LFP batteries with 10,000 cycles as safer and cheaper than NMC. The BYD Group employs 100,000 engineers and, according to its vice president, files an average of 45 patents every day. edison.media 🇩🇪
