BYD's Atto 1 skips its blade battery in a strategic shift for entry-level EVs.

The BYD Atto 1 will launch without the brand’s signature blade battery technology, marking a departure from BYD’s usual approach of integrating its proprietary battery system across models. This change may affect the vehicle’s safety, longevity, and performance, though BYD has not provided specific reasons for the omission. The decision could signal a shift in BYD’s strategy for its entry-level electric vehicles in certain markets.
