In the new energy era, two giants appeared, namely Tesla and BYD. in the country, both sales are very good, occupying the top two in the rankings. These two companies have their own advantages, but from the perspective of , BYD may be better than . Currently, Tesla mainly focuses on manufacturing, software technology, battery management and vehicle adjustment. The most important battery chain also requires the support of suppliers. BYD has made a very early layout and was once looked down upon by Musk, but now it has become a supplier of Tesla. What has BYD experienced?
BYD's advantages
BYD has now become the top 500 in the world and the third largest car company in the world . What are the advantages of BYD? It has the ability to independently develop, and its manufacturing and production can reach world-class levels. Some people call it Huawei in the automotive industry, and R&D capabilities determine the quality of a company's products. The safety of automotive batteries needs to be improved. In order to make users more at ease, BYD has developed a blade battery. During the test, the battery of was squeezed and punctured, and it would not cause flames. The same type of battery directly ignites, which has greatly improved its safety.
Tesla supplier
In the early days, Tesla used Panasonic batteries to make cars . With the promotion of the new energy era and domestic policy support, electric vehicles developed rapidly. Tesla also built a factory in Shanghai. After the domestic production, Tesla needs to find domestic suppliers, so it targeted CATL. CATL supplies batteries to many electric companies and has now become the largest battery supplier in China. With the rapid development of BYD, Tesla's foreign factories are preparing to start using BYD lithium iron phosphate blade battery , and this news has been confirmed.
BYD is indeed satisfactory in new energy, but what makes domestic users most dissatisfied is the speed of picking up the car. If there is no car available, you can only wait, and the cycle will be several months or even half a year. According to current reliable information, the blade battery has been shipped to Tesla's German Gigafactory . The cars produced in this factory will be sold overseas, and this German factory has become the first factory to use blade batteries. Some netizens asked: Whether the Shanghai factory will add blade batteries, there is no relevant news yet, and there will definitely be no such plan in the near future.
Currently, Tesla mainly produces two models, model 3 and model Y. These two models have very good sales in China, especially model Y. Because the model Y has a larger space, it is more suitable for a family to use. Model 3 can also meet daily use, but Chinese people prefer large-sized cars. In the German super factory, mainly produces Tesla model Y models, most of which use blade battery . There is also a small part, which will use its own 4680 battery, which also provides two different battery pack options, and the two can also be compared and collected parameters.
second only to CATL
In the market, just be able to make industry specializing in . If you become a master in an industry, you can survive well. CATL mainly makes battery packs, and it has now become the largest battery supplier. BYD is a car manufacturer and also undertakes the development of batteries. In 2022, the total installed capacity of BYD batteries reached 34.042GWh, a significant increase compared with 2021, with an increase of 167.9% during the same period. has undergone qualitative changes in terms of battery installation, second only to the giant CATL.
Recalling the past development history of BYD, this time it has also grasped the trend. Moreover, when BYD was founded, it had already started battery research and development. However, in order to expand the market, we must start with fuel vehicles, and there were also very good models. Now that times have changed, BYD has given up fuel vehicles without hesitation and focused on locking its development direction on new energy vehicles. Its pure electric vehicles and super hybrids have won the favor of countless consumers.But the production capacity must keep up, and this needs to be optimized. What do you think of BYD's performance?
