Commodity Exposures
Price Sensitivity
BYD's vertical integration from battery cells (Blade Battery using LFP chemistry) through complete vehicles gives it unique commodity exposure. BYD's LFP batteries use iron and phosphate instead of nickel and cobalt, providing a cost advantage and different commodity exposure than competitors using NMC chemistry. The company's massive scale (3+ million vehicles annually) makes it one of the world's largest consumers of lithium and copper.
