The Song Ultra EV began pre-sales on March 5, with a starting price of 155,000 yuan ($22,510).

Both CATL and BYD saw their shares in the overall market decline in February, as smaller rivals gained ground.

BYD is exploring building a plant in Canada and remains open to potential deals to acquire a more established global rival.

BYD is considering entering competitive motorsports, including F1 and endurance racing, to boost its global brand appeal, Bloomberg reported.

Linghui said in a teaser video that the Linghui e7 will be equipped with BYD's latest flash-charging technology, enabling it to be nearly fully charged in 9 minutes.

BYD will produce both generations of blade batteries, aiming to provide customers with more options and maintain pricing flexibility.

Both Tai 3 and Tai 7 EV flash-charging variants feature the second-generation blade battery and ultra-fast charging technology.

BYD launched the 2026 Yangwang U7, U8, and U8L models, applying the second-generation blade battery and flash-charging technology to its most high-end products.

The Seal 07 EV and the 2026 Sealion 06 EV are among the first models to be equipped with the second-generation blade battery and flash-charging technology.

The combined EV battery installation volume of CATL and BYD in January was 42.4 GWh, accounting for 59.0% of the global total.
