The plant will be built in three phases using Industry 4.0 standards. It will have an annual production capacity of 45 GWh of power batteries when it reaches full production and will supply blade batteries for more than 1 million vehicles, according to the report.

Before that, China FAW's Hongqi E-QM5 was already equipped with BYD's blade batteries.
