BYD Battery CTO says full SSB by 2027 in production models. this is huge.
BYD's DiPilot-100 configs is better than that of Huawei's ADS SE system. And Huawei is not happy about that.
Too bad. BYD is commoditizing ADAS and AI on EVs.

BYD will start limited trials of solid-state batteries in 2027. Large scale use is not expected until 2030. I think battery-swapping is quite viable as a business opportunity in the mean time.
In 2024, only 3% of car sales in China was imported.
Another company dismantled some Chinese cars.

The arrival of BYD Shark is the most exciting automotive story Australia has had for some years now, and has occasioned endless discussion about both the real and imagined limitations of its drivetrain and how significant those limitations are for various use scenarios. Most interesting is how these discussions have led some prominent public commentators ("automotive journalists") to dust off their engineering degrees, as in this entertaining video:
Given latent anti-China cultural narratives, the demographics of the Australian ute market and its reliable preference for "more" (payload, towing capacity, off-road capability, cup-holders, etc.), coupled with the ideological dimensions of NEVs for that particular market, I'm actually surprised how positive the general sentiment towards BYD Shark appears to be. It's going to be interesting to watch the story unfold across BYD Shark, GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV and Ford Ranger PHEV over the next 12-18 months.
