Lithium Drive: Warren Buffett: BYD signs over another 1500 vehicles to Shenzen, making the world's largest electric vehicle fleet
"While some people would like to make us all think that electric cars are polluting more than ICE ones, China moves fast with its Electric Cars program. If you have noticed from the Envia news about Lithium Wonder Battery - actual cell production facility is based in...China. Chinese
companies are claiming larger stake in Lithium Battery production
market now and Lithium Materials production is already a home turf for
Chinese companies.
Companies
like Ganfeng Lithium are staking their claims in Lithium Supply chain
for the Green Revolution by investing in companies like International Lithium with world wide base of lithium projects.
BYD had a very bad publicity last year and now company is coming back. Warren Buffett backs the BYD and
latest lithium battery breakthrough can make the very fast adoption
rate for electric cars in China. There is the question of not only the
higher gas prices, but urban survival with pollution from ICE cars,
which is already reaching a very dangerous levels in major cities even
with still the very low rate of cars per capita in China. Urban mobility
in China and India will be impossible in any meaningful numbers without
electric cars now."
ELECTRIC BUS INTRODUCTION
The
Electric Bus is another masterpiece of BYD's in the field of
electrified transportation. The Electric Bus is 12 meters long, and the
whole design is oriented around ease of customer transport. The

cabin experience.
As BYD's first pure electric bus, the Electric Bus employs many advanced technologies developed by BYD itself. For example, The "Fe" battery.
used on Electric Bus is non-polluting, and the chemical materials
contained in the battery can be recycled. The solar cells installed on
top of Electric Bus can supply more power to supplement the Fe battery.
