BYD — Build Your Dreams — was founded in 1995 in Shenzhen by Wang Chuan-fu initially as a battery manufacturer. The company pivoted to electric vehicles in the early 2000s, long before the industry recognised the potential. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway invested in 2008, signalling global confidence in BYD's vision. Today BYD is the world's largest NEV manufacturer, outselling Tesla in many markets.
