BYD and Huawei Push China EV Tech Into Overdrive

BYD’s 2026 Yangwang U7 and Huawei-backed Shangjie Z7/Z7T show how China’s EV market is evolving from a pure specs race into a battle over system-level experience. The U7 brings up to 1,006 km CLTC range, 640 kW fast charging, and four-motor chassis tech, while the Z7 and Z7T have already topped 60,000 pre-orders with 800V architecture, ADS 4.1, and prices starting at RMB 229,800.
