Real-time reporting on the electrification revolution — covering new EVs, batteries and storage, charging infrastructure, clean power and humanoid robots. Built on first-hand English sources, not translation.
BYD has published design sketches of the second-generation BYD Seagull, its cheapest car — and the drawings show a car that has grown in every direction. The new model is 425 mm longer than the one on sale, with a…
The BYD Thailand plant in Rayong assembled its 100,000th vehicle on September 21 — a white Atto 3, the model the brand used to enter the Thai market in 2022 — roughly 26 months after the factory began production in…

More than 140,000 home batteries sent power to California’s grid on the evening of September 9, peaking above 580 MW over a three-hour window. Sunrun and Tesla, which coordinated the dispatch, say it was the largest residential virtual power plant…
Porsche has produced battery cells whose cathode active material is made entirely from recycled raw materials — a first for the company, and one of the more concrete steps anyone has taken in battery recycling in Europe. The recycler behind…
The headline number is $1.4 billion. The dates are the more interesting part. Jupiter Power’s four battery storage financing packages closed between April and July 2026 and were announced together on September 16 — so what arrived this month was…
A newly published BYD application describes a BYD silicon-carbon anode in which nine added elements are chemically bonded to the carbon and to the silicon, rather than simply sitting inside the carbon’s pores. Whether any of it produces a better…
