BYD Battery

The Model Y is powered by BYD batteries with a capacity of 55-kilowatt hours and a range of 440 kilometers, according to a German media report.

CATL continued to rank first in July with a 47.19 percent share, but down from 49.6 percent in June. BYD's share was 25.23 percent, its second highest on record.

BYD's blade batteries has begun delivery to Tesla's factory in Berlin, and the Tesla Shanghai factory has no plans to use BYD batteries for the time being, according to local media.

The first phase of the site will have an annual capacity of 15 GWh of power cells for BYD's DMi series.

The first Tesla model to use BYD batteries will be the Model Y, with mass supply set to happen as early as next year, according to local media.

Tesla is a very successful company and BYD respects it and is friends with Elon Musk, a BYD executive said.

Some of the lithium mines will start shipping next month and are expected to be available for use in BYD's batteries in the third quarter, according to local media.

As of May 30, BYD CUBE T28 has delivered more than 1.6 GWh overall in North America so far this year, BYD said.

This is the first lithium supply contract BYD has secured after its strategic stake in Shenzhen Chengxin, which is expected to give it a more stable supply of raw material.

The project will have a construction cycle of 15 months after it starts and is expected to start production in 2023.
