Report: BYD Has Lithium Mining Plans in Brazil
Briefly

BYD, a prominent Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, has outperformed major automakers like Honda and Ford in global sales for 2024. The company is looking to bolster its lithium supply by expanding mining operations in Brazil, where it has secured rights to mine in the Jequitinhonha Valley. This move is part of a broader trend benefiting Brazil's lithium industry, which is projected to see significant export growth by 2028. However, there are logistical challenges that could impact mining operations due to the geographic placement of lithium deposits in Brazil.
BYD, a leading Chinese EV manufacturer, is expanding its lithium mining operations in Brazil to boost its production capacity, securing a significant competitive advantage.
With BYD's global vehicle sales surpassing Honda and Ford, they are positioning themselves strongly in the EV market despite lacking a U.S. presence.
