BYD News<p>In late 2008 BYD launched the first PHEV with about 400 km range on a single charge and a top speed of 160km/h. It was no success, but evolution went on. Now in 2024 BYD claims 5x the range.</p><p>"BYD will be the biggest carmaker in China by 2015 and the biggest in the world by 2025."</p><p>BYD was off by 8 years on the first claim. It seems BYD will climb in the top 10 this year, but far off achieving the top spot. Will the CEO be 8 years late on that claim too?</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ev</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/phec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phec</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/apr/02/china-e6-electric-car" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/environment/20</span><span class="invisible">09/apr/02/china-e6-electric-car</span></a></p>
