The company is indirectly wholly owned by BYD Co., Ltd. The company's business scope includes battery manufacturing and sales, new energy vehicle waste power battery recycling and echelon utilization, as well as new material technology research and development.

SMM April 14: after setting up sales companies such as cars and charging piles in Fuzhou, BYD set up a new battery company in Taizhou-Taizhou Fudi Battery Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 50 million yuan. The company is indirectly wholly owned by BYD Co., Ltd.

The company's business scope includes battery manufacturing and sales, new energy vehicle waste power battery recycling and echelon utilization, as well as new material technology research and development.

On April 11, Fuzhou Zhuoyu Automobile sales Co., Ltd., which is indirectly wholly owned by BYD Automotive Industry Co., Ltd., was established with a registered capital of 2 million. The scope of business includes new car sales, new energy vehicle electrical accessories sales and charging pile sales.

According to the latest monthly installed capacity of power batteries in March released by the China Automotive Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance, BYD ranks second among domestic battery companies, with 4.12GWh installed, accounting for 19.24% of the market. From January to March, BYD accumulated 10.41GWh in terms of domestic power battery installation, accounting for 20.31% of the market.

Some media said that the continued hot sale of BYD new energy vehicles is the guarantee for the steady growth of its power battery installation. According to car sales in March, BYD's new car sales successfully exceeded 100000 in March, reaching 104878 units, an increase of 156.95% over the same period last year. And it is worth mentioning that while announcing sales, BYD announced that it would stop production of fuel-fueled vehicles from March this year and focus on EV pure electric and DM plug-in hybrid vehicles. According to production and sales figures released by BYD, its fuel vehicle sales were completely suspended in March. BYD has officially become the first brand in China to sell "100000 +" new energy passenger cars.

【Stardust Power Begins Site Engineering Work at Muskogee Lithium Refinery】

Stardust Power announced on June 16 that it has commenced site engineering activities at its lithium refinery project in Muskogee, Oklahoma, marking a further step from the FEL-3 front-end engineering stage toward execution-level design. According to the company, Brown & Root has been engaged to carry out related geotechnical work, including site borings and subsurface investigations. The work is intended to assess underground conditions at key locations across the site and provide supporting data for subsequent civil design, foundation design, procurement and construction planning.According to Stardust Power’s previous plan, the Muskogee lithium refinery is designed to produce up to 50,000 mt/year of battery-grade lithium carbonate. Once completed, the project is expected to become one of the largest lithium refining facilities in the US. SMM believes this progress indicates that US domestic lithium refining projects are continuing to move toward engineering execution. However, the project remains at the site engineering and execution-design preparation stage, and further attention should be paid to financing progress, final investment decision, commencement of major construction and the actual delivery schedule.

GM move into sodium batteries spurs Korea to accelerate ESS push

U.S. automotive giant General Motors (GM) has announced an investment in U.S. startup Peak Energy and plans to advance the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries, primarily for energy storage systems (ESS), with deployment targeted after 2029. This marks the first meaningful entry of a non-Chinese automaker into the field and is prompting Korea’s battery industry to incorporate sodium-ion technology into its strategic priorities, even as it accelerates efforts to catch up in LFP. Unlike ternary batteries (NCM/NCA) and LFP, which rely on lithium, sodium-ion batteries use more abundant and lower-cost sodium as a substitute, offering advantages such as greater supply chain stability, better low-temperature performance, and enhanced safety—making them particularly suitable for large-scale energy storage applications. At the same time, increased volatility in lithium prices has further strengthened the cost competitiveness of sodium-ion batteries. Korean players including LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI, and SK On have already accelerated their efforts, aiming to advance sample production or commercialization around 2027. Overall, GM’s entry signals that a technology pathway previously dominated by Chinese companies is becoming globalized, and it is likely to push Korean battery manufacturers to accelerate adjustments to their technology and product portfolios.
