BYD, founded in 2003, has long been a prominent player in the production of cars, buses, trucks, and e-bikes. With a particular focus on battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), BYD has steadily established itself as a leader in electric mobility.
In 2022, BYD made headlines by surpassing Tesla in global sales, delivering an impressive 1.86 million electric and hybrid vehicles worldwide. The company attributes this success to its commitment to innovation and its expertise in producing clean and reliable technology.
A standout innovation from BYD is the ‘Blade Battery’. This Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery features a unique structure where each cell is designed as a ‘sword blade’, forming a honeycomb-like arrangement. According to BYD, this design makes the battery stronger, more durable, and capable of storing more energy while enhancing range and safety compared to traditional batteries.
The Blade Battery can be found in the BYD Atto 3, a hatchback-SUV crossover that marked the brand’s entry into the UK market in 2023. Competing with models like the MG ZS EV, Hyundai Kona Electric, Kia Niro EV, and Volkswagen ID.4, the Atto 3 offers a compelling leasing option for those seeking an all-electric vehicle.
