BYDToday Editorial covers China's new energy vehicle industry from inside the Chinese-language information ecosystem — the same sources industry insiders read each morning. Our team reads daily across 汽车之家 (Autohome), 42 号车库 (42how), 懂车帝 (DongCheDi), 新出行 (XChuXing), 第一电动 (D1EV), CnEVPost, plus official press releases from BYD, Huawei HIMA, Xiaomi, NIO, Li Auto, XPeng, Leapmotor, and the quarterly earnings calls of every listed Chinese NEV company. Our editors are based in China with backgrounds across the country's automotive industry — engineering, trade journalism, industry analysis. Each article on this site is synthesized from multiple Chinese primary sources, cross-checked against technical documentation and live press events. Our aim is simple: bring English-speaking readers the depth, speed, and accuracy of Chinese-language NEV reporting, without the translation lag that filters most secondary coverage. When you see a spec, a sales figure, or a quoted statement on BYDToday, we want you to trust it down to the decimal. If we get something wrong, email [email protected] and we'll correct it visibly with a dated note.
