BYD Seal 08 roars into market with 65k orders in 30 hours and 694-hp AWD

BYD launched the Seal 08 flagship sedan at 196,900 yuan with 800-volt charging, DiSus-A air suspension and a 905 km CLTC range powered by a 694 hp dual-motor AWD that does 0–100 km/h in about 3.3 seconds. In just over 30 hours, cumulative orders reached roughly 65,000 (including 40k blind bookings since June 12 and 25k new orders), with most buyers choosing pure-electric variants while hybrids fill remaining demand. Production capacity sits at 8,000 vehicles per month, with double-shift runs and a 2–3 month wait for popular trims; BYD is expanding Blade battery lines to meet demand amid ongoing battery-supply constraints.

Ford secures key minerals for EV production while maintaining growth in gas-powered vehicles.

Ford is confident in achieving its two million EV run rate goal by the end of 2026, despite concerns over EV battery supply. The automaker has secured deals with three lithium industry leaders, including Albermarle, Nemaska Lithium, and SQM, to support its initiatives. Ford is focusing on smaller batteries with better performance and has secured 240 GWh of battery cell capacity globally. The company is also investing in recycling capabilities in the US to support the EV rollout going forward.

Ford's EV Production Hindered by Battery Supply Constraints as CEO Teases Millennium Falcon-like Electric Pickup.

Ford CEO Jim Farley cites battery supply as the constraint to accelerating EV production, emphasizing the need to build out a supply chain in the US for critical battery minerals. Despite ongoing battery constraints, Ford is aiming to produce 2 million EVs annually by late 2026. The automaker continues manufacturing massive batteries, upwards of 140 kWh, for its full-size electric truck, the F-150 Lightning. Ford is building out its domestic supply chain and manufacturing capabilities to streamline production, cut costs, and put the company in a position to succeed in the increasingly competitive EV market.
