The factory, BYD\u2019s third, can eventually produce 24 gigawatt-hours of batteries a year, and is part of the company\u2019s plans to raise its total production capacity to 60 GWh by 2020, it said in a statement.<\/p>\n

BYD is building new battery production capacity to take advantage of China\u2019s aggressive new energy vehicle (NEV) push, with the country desperate not only to cut air pollution from traditional combustion engines but also boost its high-tech clout.<\/p>\n

BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu told reporters last year that he expected all vehicles in China to be electrified by 2030.<\/p>\n

NEV manufacturers sold 328,000 units in the first five months of this year, up 141.6 percent from a year earlier. NEV ownership in China accounted for more than half the global total last year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The government is already warning of overcapacity risks, with a state planning agency official saying earlier this month that there were signs of \u201cblind development\u201d in the sector.<\/div>\n
