China car giant BYD says it can thrive without US
China car giant BYD says it can thrive without the US, stating "We survive and are successful without the US market today," according to BYD executive vice president Stella Li at the Beijing Auto Show. BYD, which overtook Tesla as the world's largest seller of electric vehicles last year, is expanding aggressively overseas. The company says its challenge is meeting increased demand in other regions, including Brazil, the UK and Europe.
BYD is betting on its new "flash charging" technology, which Li describes as a "game-changer." At this year's Beijing Auto Show, more than 1,400 vehicles from hundreds of Chinese and foreign companies were on display. Chinese EV-makers face tariffs and regulatory scrutiny in global markets, particularly in the US. BYD's domestic sales have been falling for seven straight months, in contrast to sales in Europe which were up 156% in the first three months of this year.
X-Peng has plans to begin manufacturing flying cars in 2027.
