It is also an electric car. What is the difference between Tesla and BYD?

With the acceleration of vehicle electrification, more and more car companies are involved in the field of new energy vehicles. In China, for example, traditional car companies such as BYD, BAIC and GAC have begun to set foot in the field of new energy, and Tesla, an American manufacturer of pure electric vehicles, is becoming more and more famous. So it is also a pure electric vehicle. What is the difference between Tesla and BYD?

Different types of power batteries

BYD is both a car manufacturer and a battery manufacturer. BYD's lithium iron phosphate battery has a relatively high market share, and its new energy vehicles are also equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries, so for BYD, self-production and self-marketing can better control costs. In addition, BYD's other models include plug-in hybrid vehicles in addition to pure electric vehicles, and the types are also relatively rich.

Not for Tesla, whose power battery is mainly supplied by a third party. For example, at present, Tesla's battery suppliers are mainly Panasonic and LG Chem, and recently it has added Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. in China. Tesla is mainly equipped with ternary lithium batteries, which have a relatively high energy density compared with lithium iron phosphate batteries. Moreover, Tesla is mainly engaged in pure electric vehicles, so the types of models are relatively single.

There are differences in electronic control technology.

Although Tesla batteries are mainly purchased from third parties, they are independently developed in electronic control technology. Tesla's electronic control technology is relatively high, which can optimize the charging and discharging conditions and achieve the longest endurance performance of the model. Although BYD is a battery manufacturer, it has a certain gap with Tesla in electronic control technology.

Different degrees of internationalization

Although BYD's sales of new energy vehicles were high in previous years, it was also the sum of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles. In addition, BYD's new energy vehicles are mainly oriented to the domestic market, while Tesla not only faces the US market, but also exports models to China, Europe and other markets. Therefore, Tesla has a high degree of internationalization and BYD is relatively low.

Write it at the end

BYD and Tesla rank high in the new energy vehicle industry, but they also have their own advantages and disadvantages. At present, Tesla has settled in China, achieved mass production and started to compete with BYD for the domestic market. However, because the whole new energy automobile industry is still in the early stage of development, it is still unknown who will lead in the end.
