According to Lee, BYD will double the production capacity for its new blade battery from 13Gwh currently to 26Gwh in 2021 by adding eight new production lines at its plant in Chongqing. This is in place to meet in-house EV manufacturing and expected strong demand from external customers (Chinese and global OEMs).
