BYD's battery business has always been less meaningful compared to the automobile and mobile handset business (which investors can access through <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/byd-electronic-international-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1927:1" rel="noopener">BYD Electronics (285 HK)</a>), but the long-term prospect has always been exciting. The recent BYD's Blade battery perks a positive rumor that the company will be able to sell in-vehicle batteries to other EV makers, increasing the group's EBITDA by almost 40% depending on the various scenarios. Investors should be even more excited at the prospect that BYD's battery business can finally contribute to the group's more meaningfully.
