BYD Claims Nine‑Minute Full Charge with Second‑Generation Blade Battery, Backed by Nationwide 'Flash‑Charge' Network Push
BYD has introduced a second‑generation blade battery it says can charge from 10% to 97% in nine minutes, paired with a 1,500 kW "flash‑charge" station and a plan to deploy 20,000 such stations in China by 2026. The package is aimed at solving range anxiety and shrinking pack sizes, but it raises technical, grid and durability questions that will determine its real‑world impact.
China’s EV Arms Race Shifts to Batteries and Lidar as BYD and Huawei Push the Next Leap
BYD will unveil a second‑generation blade battery and fast‑charging technology, while Huawei is deploying a new high‑resolution lidar across partner models. Together these moves signal a shift in China’s EV race toward component‑level advantages — batteries, sensors and chips — and a growing push to escalate regulatory support for higher levels of autonomy.
Canada Reopens Door to Chinese EVs with Limited Quotas — A Short Window for BYD and Other Exporters
Canada will issue a first tranche of 24,500 import permits for Chinese-made electric vehicles for March–August 2026 at a 6.1% MFN tariff, signalling a partial rollback of the 100% surtax imposed in October 2024. The quota scheme, phased through early 2027 and planned to expand toward 70,000 vehicles by 2030, rewards manufacturers already prepared for Canadian certification while leaving open political and regulatory risks.
China’s EV Makers Sell Longer Loans, Not Cheaper Cars: Seven‑Year Finance Rides to the Rescue
Chinese automakers have adopted seven‑year low‑interest loan packages to sustain EV sales as regulators curb below‑cost discounts and purchase tax incentives are scaled back. The offers lower monthly payments but raise total borrowing costs, shift ownership and resale risks onto buyers, and increase exposure for non‑bank financiers.
BYD EV Survives Missile Blast in Jerusalem, Underscoring Battery Safety and Brand Stakes in Conflict Zones
A BYD Yuan Plus (ATTO 3) in Jerusalem survived a nearby missile explosion with no battery fire and only non‑fatal passenger injuries, highlighting BYD’s battery safety claims and raising questions about selling EVs in conflict zones. The incident boosts BYD’s reputation in Israel even as it spotlights insurance, supply‑chain and geopolitical risks faced by consumer tech firms operating abroad.
China Pushes Auto Demand with Provincial Trade‑In Schemes as New EV Makers Rack Up Deliveries and Xiaomi Unveils Supercar Concept
Provincial rollouts of China’s 2026 vehicle subsidy and trade‑in rules aim to stabilise car demand and accelerate fleet renewal, with Shenzhen offering significant purchase rebates for NEVs and small petrol cars. February delivery figures show strong volumes from several new EV makers and mixed results among incumbents, while Xiaomi’s Vision GT concept and ADAS usage data underscore the sector’s technological pivot and intensifying competition.
BYD and Geely Target Mexican Assembly Plant as China Accelerates a North American Push
BYD and Geely have been named among finalists to buy a Nissan–Mercedes‑Benz plant in Guanajuato, Mexico, a strategic asset that would provide tariff‑free access to the U.S. and Canada under USMCA. The potential deal reflects a broader shift: China’s auto exports surged in 2025, and Mexico became the largest destination for Chinese vehicles, as manufacturers pursue local production to deepen their foothold in the Americas.
BYD and Geely Eye Mexican Plant as Springboard into the Americas
BYD and Geely are reported to be shortlisted to bid for a Nissan–Mercedes‑Benz factory in Guanajuato, Mexico. Acquiring the plant would give Chinese automakers immediate production credentials and proximity to the Americas, helping them sidestep tariff and logistics constraints while accelerating overseas expansion.
