BYD: Factory Tour & Full Range of EVs | FULLY CHARGED

SUBSCRIBE, LIKE & SHARE if you want Clean Energy & Electric Vehicles to be the norm.
In this mind-blowing episode Elliot goes behind the scenes at the impressive BYD (Build Your Dreams) factory in Shenzhen to find out what makes them such an electric superpower.
What BYD have achieved in the last few years is simply staggering - from batteries and solar panels to a full suite of electric vehicles including cars, trucks, taxis and buses. As well as a tour of the factory, Elliot took the BYD Han and the Tang cars for a drive, checked out the D1 taxi and rode a couple of their electric buses.
With the factory currently producing 400 cars a day, we are pretty excited to see what BYD will do next!

Great post, and I do not want to seem greedy. But FC needs to do a follow-up post, that's just about the BYD blade battery. Since some key aspects were missing from it in this story. Such as not mentioning it's LFP chemistry and the unique game changing way it's constructed. It's truly amazing tech, so IMHO it deserves it own post. Also when will BYD or Toyota or any other brand bring it to the west???

Chinese have special treatment regiment when Chinese want to buy influence of politicians or enemy generals. Chinese has been using the special treatment to steal technologies and it seems they are using it for marketing.

[@larscarlsson3643]

What maybe not many know is that BYD is the first Chinese OEM to use Swedish Dirac Research’s audio software algorithms to optimize the audio system and get high-end sound performance. BYD Han’s top range audio system use Dirac Live technology also used in many high-end home audio systems. It also has Dirac branded speakers, one of the first cars to use a cool software company brand on their speakers. All in all a very nice and beautiful car.

[@yungchia4512]

[@driftert5687]

Hopefully the US government won't ask Swedish to stop supplying the Dirac system to BYD. If then I guess you don't have any choice as "an ally". American politicians don't believe in win-win, especially with China.

[@cybourne5910]

Thanx, great info

[@badabing6852]

I'm a little confused, BYD had to go to Sweden in order to obtain high end audio sound. I always thought that there were many high end audio suppliers already in China. They seem to have all products covered from lower end budget to high end products in every category. Thinking about it, (after re reading your comment) I guess it would add that "cool" factor to say " yada, yada, yada, & it's got an imported DIRAC Research audio system with 43 speakers & 9 sub-woofers in the back . . . " But as most audiophiles know high end audio systems require concentrated listening in order to hear the "triangle" when it chimes in amongst all the other instruments. So more of a gimmick.

[@JABelms]

@@badabing6852 Don't think about it too much, Dirac is just audio software and it's probably cheaper than Dolby licenses that's why they probably got it. Also China has great audio gear but I never seen any high end audio software from China. Also do remember that BYD products are marketed towards the European market as well, so there is more reason they went with Dirac than you think

What set China apart as a country is really a sense of mission. The thinking in China is that we missed the ICE car revolution, only caught up somewhat near the tail end of it, so we are not going to miss the EV revolution. The government and the industry are working together to achieve that goal. In the West, vested interest groups like slow moving legacy automakers and petroleum lobbies and partisan politicians are all pulling in different directions, so of course the progress will be slower in the West.

Totally agree with you Jim. I went to China in 2010 and stepping off the plane and onto the train was amazing, the quality was excellent and very well organised. Tech they were using was several years in front of western countries. The cars were pretty naff and BYD were directly copying Toyota at the time, Chinese consumers looked at locals cars as undesirable and poorly made. The last five years they've transformed and done 3 or 4 generation step in that time.

Logan Zhou the clean tech does not extend to the removal of the co2 that is generated by burning coal.

I don't expect to see many BYD vehicles here in Canada (except maybe a few buses) anytime soon but it is nice to know that such vehicles do exist and I'm with you Elliot ... the D1 is all the car I need and want so yeah .. I'm gutted to that we can't get one.

[@tomattime]

Excellent, but seeing so many people without masks just feels so strange now. 😷 😁 That blade battery is fascinating

[@arminius6506]

Because there's not much threat of covid there.

[@xmb6793]

Because covid-19 is not really a thing anymore in china

[@joshuaknight1748]

There’s a KZbinr who just post videos of him trying to destroy batteries. It’s incredible how much punishment they take. The way fires are reported in the press, most will believe they set on fire the moment you have a 5mph prang

[@AndyFletcherX31]

I'd like a few, say 32, for my off-grid installation :)

[@shanghainewbison7687]

Because BYD can make 200 mil masks a day, and we eliminated COVID long time ago.

[@bensale1001]

I really hope these fantastic looking EVs come to the UK soon - they are amazing!

[@simonclements]

I am so impressed, Keep up the good work,my first ev arrives next week 👍

[@frcgfd107]

Good Luck with your EV, they are the future!

BYD is Great.

[@Mobile_Dom]

i would love to see a fully charged china video comparing the Han to the Xpeng P7

[@bluetoad2668]

... And to the Tesla model S which both are clearly based on

[@Saint_Vincent1735]

Never even heard of them till this. Wow I want one

[@airchie2]

Did anyone else see the T5 and think - stealth camper? Would be an amazing blank canvas for a van-life type build. And Elliot, you're doing a great job. From watching your first video compared to this one its great to see you relaxing into and enjoying the job. :)

[@joe8572]

Had driven BYD e6 years ago. BYD does improve a lot.

[@ricardo34979]

Fantastic production quality and super interesting to see. Elliot - you’re really hitting your stride in presenting, great job!

[@ryans651]

Very happy about this episode. Liked instantly ☺️

Another brilliant episode, it would be great to see BYD cars for sale in the UK.

[@yggdrasil9039]

BYD cars coming to Australia soon. Very exciting.

BYD are doing a great job of electrifying transport. All we need now is for companies in the UK to buy and use them.

[@Allan003]

I am really glad to hear some BYD vehicles are here in Canada, I hope we get many more in the near future!

[@hippocreation]

Bombadier should build them!

[@whocares264]

WOW China are the world leaders in electric vehicles ..super video ...thanks

[@davidmccarthy6061]

They are the new world power.

[@san080890]

Very nice video and BYD is electrifying everything.

[@Peter-sg7ox]

Thank you very much die this great Video!! I find IT really interesting, what the BYD Factory looks like - and I have never seen one of their Trucks or Busses before!

[@Wtlukd]

I am extremely impressed by them! I remembered little less than a decade ago when I was commuting very often to China, BYD was selling rebadged models of Toyota's older offerings. There were also many BYD EV taxis plying in most metropiltan city areas (e.g., Shenzhen, etc) and this was in the era of them old rickety made (brand new) in China VW late 90sto early 2000s model Jetta.

[@llee4225]

Excellent episode to see that various products BYD has. All seems modern and well planned. The battery technology is great for being safe and low cost.

[@beaker9videos]

Such a good video - well shot, well presented and including loads of exciting vehicles. Why can't I buy any of these great Chinese car in the UK yet!

[@sandyfordd1843]

I’m pretty sure BYD, and other Chinese car manufacturers, are concentrating on left hand drive vehicles for the moment. But the Chinese MGs are selling well in the UK.

[@pass3d]

NIO cars will be sold in EU this year. NIO eT7 is really gorgeous design.

[@sandyfordd1843]

@@pass3d , yes, Nio are a brand to look out for. A source of mine in Shenzhen, close to BYD city, told me yesterday that while the BYDs look fantastic, they are having serious quality control issues, a lot of their customers are unhappy with their purchases, I was gutted to hear this, I thought they had these issues sorted.

[@kelanzhi7269]

@@sandyfordd1843 i'm chinese, will never consider Nio, but BYD is for sure in my top list.

This is one of the best videos you've ever done. Thank you

[@JackieWelles]

Thank YOU for doing these tours!

[@javierlezama1094]

💪🏼 BYD is the biggest EV company. And BLADE batterys ⚡ are the best.

[@WillBrownCars]

I'm loving the red leather interior!

[@KevinT3141]

Hate on China all you want but they've seen the future and are building it today, while here in the west we've still got a lot to learn. Thanks for a great video tour!

[@Peter-vn8ue]

Chinese companies are going to turn the EV world on its head with affordable EVs globally. I'm going to wait until 2022 when hopefully I will be able to buy a BYD Tang SUV in Australia if the price is right. Great video, I enjoyed the BYD factory tour and the test drive of their vehicles immensely.

[@leeronald1461]

Excellent presentation. A lot to learn from - especially the functionality of the various compartments of the car! Very well thought of for drivers and passengers 👍👍

[@TonYTamayo1071]

400 EV a day out put is just amazing !

[@yhh8427]

Warren Buffett invested 10% of BYD total shares. Warren Buffet 's company "Berkshire Hathaway" first tried to buy 25% of BYD, but Wang turned down the offer. He wanted to be in business with Buffett - to enhance his brand and open doors in the U.S., he says - but he would not let go of more than 10% of BYD's stock. "This was a man who didn't want to sell his company," Buffett says. "That was a good sign."

[@rampchamp9283]

Best episode so far! 👍

[@RedBatteryHead]

What an amazing company. It's always stunning to realize all of that has been sold. Makes one realize consumption too.

[@dlittlester]

We're getting one of their buses soon. Should be interesting.

[@simonchenchen]

Really wonderful. The introduction is very detailed. I like your program!

[@patricksteele]

Interesting and forward looking. Excellent!
