BYD Starts To Outsell UK’s Biggest Car Brands?! | Fully Charged Show Podcast

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Robert Llewellyn is joined by Steve Beattie, Head of Sales at BYD UK, to unpack the meteoric rise of the world's largest EV maker. From humble beginnings in battery manufacturing to selling over 4 million vehicles globally, BYD is rapidly transforming the electric vehicle landscape—and Europe is next.

Steve and Robert discuss how BYD went from mobile phone batteries to EVs, the secrets behind BYD’s battery safety tech (hello, Blade Battery!) and the need for EV affordability, charging access, and the challenge of equitable adoption. Enjoy! @fullychargedshow @EverythingElectricShow @byd.unitedkingdom
