800V High-Voltage Architecture
China leapfrogged the industry. By 2026, more than 40 Chinese EV models ship with 800V systems enabling 10-minute fast charging. Xpeng, Zeekr, BYD, Li Auto all standardised.
Deep dives into the technologies powering China's automotive lead — the battery chemistry, software architecture and silicon behind the headlines.

Xpeng XNGP, Huawei ADS 3.0, NIO NAD — point-to-point urban autonomy without HD maps. The technology that surprised Tesla.
Huawei HarmonyOS Cockpit, Xiaomi HyperOS, Li Auto OS — multi-screen, voice-first, app-rich interiors that make legacy infotainment feel a decade behind.
BYD's LFP Blade battery and CATL's cell-to-body designs deliver safety and density at lower cost. The reason Chinese EVs hit price parity with ICE first.
