It is reported that in May, it was reported that BYD will supply blade batteries to Tesla in the second quarter of next year, and Tesla models equipped with blade batteries have entered the testing phase. At that time, BYD officially stated that it "will not comment", and relevant personnel of Tesla also told the media that they had not received relevant official news. However, a BYD insider revealed to the media that the matter is true, and the first model may be the Model Y.
It is worth mentioning that in March, according to 36Kr report, Weilai and Xiaomi cars will use BYD's lithium iron phosphate batteries.
According to reports, the fixed-point cooperation between NIO and Fudi Battery has been finalized as early as the Spring Festival, and a photo of NIO CEO Li Bin accompanying BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu to visit the NIO Hefei factory has also been circulated on social media platforms. And some industry sources revealed that the cooperation between NIO and BYD will be different from the current conventional cooperation, which is relatively new.
In addition, it is rumored that Xiaomi Auto has also signed a fixed-point cooperation agreement with Fudi Battery. It is reported that Xiaomi's first car has two configurations, high and low. Among them, the low-end models use a 400V voltage platform and plan to use BYD blade batteries, while the high-end models use an 800V voltage platform. It is reported that there is a high probability of using products from the Ningde era. But the details of the cooperation have not been finalized.
