As technology progresses, electric vehicles are becoming more and more popular. There are so many brands to choose from, which one is right for you? Here we list the top 2 competitive brands, Tesla and BYD.
Tesla is a well-known company, so we don’t need to introduce it. Tesla Model has several unique technologies that are different from other electric vehicle brands. BYD is a technology-driven company, as its founder is a brilliant scientist. He is an expert in battery research.
New Tesla Model 3

The Tesla Model 3 stands out from other electric vehicles in terms of technology:
- Battery: Tesla’s self-developed 21700 cylindrical cells boast higher energy density and lower costs. In contrast, most other brands rely on 18650 cylindrical or square cells, which lags in energy density and cost.
- Motor: Tesla utilizes permanent magnet synchronous motors for superior efficiency and lower noise levels. Comparatively, most competitors opt for AC asynchronous motors, resulting in lower efficiency and higher noise.
- Silicon Carbide Inverter: The Tesla Model uses a silicon carbide inverter, which can improve motor efficiency, reduce electrical losses, and increase cruising range.
- Autonomous Driving: Tesla leads the way in autonomous driving technology, with its Autopilot system capable of achieving L2.5 level autonomous driving. Meanwhile, the majority of other brands remain at the L2 level.
- Software Updates: Tesla allows for convenient over-the-air (OTA) software updates to enhance vehicle features and performance. On the other hand, most other brands require updates to be performed at a dealership, which is a slower and less convenient process.
Tesla Model S

In addition to the advanced technologies of the Tesla Model 3 mentioned above, It has upgraded battery technology. Tesla Model S uses a 4680 battery. Compared with the 2170 battery, the single energy density is increased by 5 times, the cruising range is increased by 16%, and the cost is reduced by 14%.
