Chinese EV giant BYD says it has a backup plan if it's cut off from Nvidia chips
The Chinese electric car manufacturer BYD presents its models at the Open Space Area during the IAA Mobility in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, on September 12, 2025. Li declined to expand on what the plan is, but she pointed to the Covid-19 pandemic during which there was a global shortage of semiconductors which badly affected the auto sector. BYD had "no issue" at the time because it developed a lot of its technology in-house, he said, so it was able to source alternatives quickly. Stella Li, exe
