BYD

The Formula S series includes the first sedan and GT, launched under BYD’s Fang Cheng Bao. Starting at under $29,000, the electric sedan is cheaper than a Tesla Model 3.

Tesla deployed its first “Accordion” Supercharger, a pre-assembled charging unit that ships 16 stalls on a single truck and installs 20% cheaper than a conventional site.

Tesla’s charging team says the goal is now to pre-assemble every Supercharger in a factory. It’s a smart move, and one the company badly needs after two years of slower deployment.

BYD calls it the industry’s first AI-powered smart luxury SUV. The new Denza N8L EV is an all-electric version of the current plug-in hybrid (PHEV), starting at 299,800 yuan, or about $45,000.

BYD is in “the leading position,” according to executive vice president Stella Li, with plans to introduce its first EV equipped with solid-state batteries in 2027.

BYD unveiled its most complete electric commercial vehicle lineup yet at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hannover, headlined by the ETT 44, a heavy-duty tractor with up to 600 km of range and 1.5-megawatt charging.

It’s BYD’s clearest shot yet at Europe’s heavy-truck market, and it brings the “Flash Charging” pitch the company built around its cars straight to the freight business.

Last year, the BYD “Shenzhen” set sail on its first voyage with 9,200 parking spots – or enough space to fill 20 football fields, making BYD’s transport ship easily the world’s largest. Now, as the Chinese car brand sets its sights on Europe and North America, it’s ordering 10 more.

BYD said its latest flagship SUV has become an instant best-seller. Within 24 hours of launching, the new Sealion 08 secured over 12,000 orders.

Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) says she’s hearing rumors that President Trump is preparing to let Chinese cars be sold in the US as part of a broader deal with China.

She raised the claim Wednesday, tying it to Trump’s upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington, which she said is coming “in just a few weeks.” There are many reasons to doubt these rumors.

BYD launched the new Denza Z9 GT e3 Premium, a lower-priced version of its top-selling electric luxury GT, starting at about $50,000.

BYD is testing a new boxy SUV positioned as a smaller, lower-priced sibling to the Ti 7 (Tai 7). Here’s our first look at it.

BYD is launching a new Denza Z9 GT model on September 9. The new tri-motor variant is expected to start at around $50,000, filling the gap between the current range-topping Performance and Flagship RWD models.

BYD is preparing to launch a new electric hatch, positioned between the Dolphin and Seagull (Dolphin Surf) in size and price.

BYD launched an aggressive sales campaign in the UK, its “biggest-ever,” offering over $3,000 off select plug-in and electric vehicles.

With three electric motors delivering over 1,500 horsepower, the Denza Z can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in under 2 seconds. It can beat a Lamborghini in a race, and it’s cheaper than a Porsche 911 Turbo S.

BYD confirmed the new Denza N8 has a “world-leading” pure electric CLTC range of 1,003 km (623 miles), and offered a sneak peek at the interior.

BYD posted its first quarterly profit increase in more than a year, with second-quarter net profit rising 29.8% to 8.2 billion yuan ($1.22 billion) as a record surge in exports offset a weak Chinese market.

The rebound ends four straight quarters of profit declines and reverses the 55.4% collapse BYD reported just three months earlier.

BYD announced that it has already installed 10,000 of its 1.5 megawatt “flash charging” stations, despite only starting earlier this year. The number puts it halfway to its lofty goal of 20,000 stations by year’s end – and just about on pace to hit it.

BYD opened orders for the Great Han, its new flagship electric sedan that can drive over 1,000 km (621 mi) on a single charge, starting at under $40,000.

BYD’s low-cost Seagull EV, sold as the Dolphin Surf in Europe and Dolphin Mini in other overseas markets, is due for an upgrade. Here’s a sneak peek.

BYD’s new Qin Max is now on sale, another Tesla Model 3-sized electric sedan that’s about half the price.

BYD’s new sedan is about the size of a Tesla Model 3, but it’s half the cost in China. The new Seal 06 went on sale in China, starting at just 109,900 yuan, or about $16,500.
