(March 6): China’s BYD Co unveiled more powerful batteries and faster charging capabilities, along with refreshed and new models, as the world’s largest electric-car maker seeks to reverse a deepening sales slump in its home market.

Among a suite of tech upgrades, BYD launched its latest generation of so-called “blade batteries” and ultra-fast flash charging architecture in Shenzhen on Thursday.
