electric vehicles

BYD is now the leading electric vehicle maker in Brazil. They represent 7 out of 10 EVs sold in the country, and now BYD is setting up a plant in Bahia on a site previously used by Ford.

After being in Brazil for a week, I can confirm that there’s a ton of BYD cars around in Brazil

I rode in one the other day and they’re pretty nice

BYD and fellow Chinese electric carmaker CATL both have unveiled battery tech that allows for 300-400km range on a 5 minute charge, effectively replicating the time it would take to fill up with gas

This was one of the biggest hurdles for wider EV adoption and its coming very soon

I work as a PM in a digital bank called PagBank

Where I work the directors get a BYD when they join the company lol

Great cars, comfy. There's quite a few here in Paris..

And they have what I call the downtown or london size . You know the sedans that look like half cars 🚗 that you can park easily when downtown :)
