BYD Claims New Battery Factory Will Be 'Largest In the World' (electrek.co)
China's largest electric vehicle manufacturer, BYD, is opening a new battery factory that it claims will be the "largest in the world." Electrek reports: The factory is located in the western province of Qinghai and while it was "opened" this week, it is still under construction and BYD aims to complete it by the end of next year. BYD President and Chairman Wang Chuanfu said at the opening ceremony (via NDTV): "Electrification is a done deal as several countries have announced a deadline for the sale of internal combustion engine cars to end. Electric vehicles are on the cusp of another boom."
With a capacity of 24 GWh, this new battery factory should enable them to significantly increase production with a total battery production capacity of 60 GWh. BYD focuses on the production of prismatic LiFePO4 battery cells, different from most of the auto industry's NCA and NMC battery cells.

China's largest electric vehicle manufacturer, BYD
That should be the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturer, BYD. Their EC180 is the best selling EV in the world, by a large margin. That might upset the Teslarati here, though, so i guess BeauHD took the easy way out...
Browsing at +1 - no ACs, I ignore their posts. So refreshing!

Yes, I'm left. You have a problem with that?
