Tesla has lengthy been acclaimed for its vertical integration. Nevertheless, BYD has gone a lot additional in vertical integration and that appears to largely go below the radar. Now, in its newest vertical integration, BYD has developed its personal customized pill for the upcoming Fang Cheng Bao Tai 7.

Sadly, we don’t actually have extra particulars on the pill. We’ll discover out extra when the Fang Cheng Bao Tai 7 comes out towards the tip of the yr. We simply realize it’ll join with the car system and allow multi-screen collaboration.

All of that stated, this isn’t an entire novelty within the fast-innovating Chinese language EV market.

“BYD’s in-house growth of tablets comes at a time when Chinese language shoppers are more and more valuing connectivity in in-vehicle data techniques,” CnEVPost writes. “Xiaomi and Huawei are seen as offering superior experiences on this space, as they’re already shopper electronics giants.”

“Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) has additionally launched two generations of Nio Cellphone smartphones, hoping to extend the enchantment of its autos by bettering the connectivity between telephones and its autos.

“Nevertheless, there may be at present no details about the third era of Nio Cellphone, as the corporate has basically shelved the venture resulting from monetary pressures.”

Is all of it only a gimmick? Or does it actually improve the EV possession expertise in some methods? I don’t know. It’s exhausting to think about what one wants past an app to handle a automobile. However perhaps I’d notice the advantages extra if I had a Tesla pill that additionally linked with my Mannequin 3. In spite of everything, many individuals who don’t have a contemporary, good EV don’t perceive the advantages of normal over-the-air software program updates.

Lastly, it’s maybe not a giant leap for BYD to do that anyway. BYD was a battery producer earlier than it was a automobile producer, and it’s been a significant white-label producer of photo voltaic panels and numerous electronics. “For BYD, whereas it’s famend for its NEV and battery companies, it is usually one in every of China’s largest shopper electronics contract producers, with shoppers together with Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Honor,” CnEVPost provides.

I assume we’re attending to the purpose the place we have now to ask: what elements of its automobiles does BYD not develop and produce itself?
