I wrote yesterday about XPENG’s rapid sales growth in 14 overseas markets. Let’s add a few more Chinese EV companies to this analysis. Adding in BYD, Leapmotor, and Zeekr, we can see all of these companies growing rapidly in these overseas markets. For now, we’re looking at sales in the … [continued]
BYD in Singapore is found almost everywhere. This is a weekend mall display and test drive last June. (Photo for CleanTechnica by the author.)
Chinese automaker BYD has again reshaped Singapore’s automotive landscape, dethroning long-standing market leaders and significantly impacting both European luxury brands and U.S. electric vehicle (EV) pioneer Tesla. Driven by aggressive pricing, a diverse EV lineup, and swift responses to market demand, BYD has become the clear frontrunner in the highly … [continued]
In the first half of the year, BYD Group’s cumulative sales reached 2.146 million vehicles, becoming the only Chinese automaker to exceed 2 million vehicles. BYD’s new energy vehicle sales in June 2025 were 382,600 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 11.98%. Among them, the sales of pure electric vehicles were … [continued]
BYD sales continue to rise strongly year over year, while Tesla sales continue to stagnate at best and droop significantly at worst. Whereas the race between these electric vehicle leaders was tight for years, and Tesla led for years, the Chinese EV producer looks like it’s leaving Tesla in the … [continued]
BYD’s plugin vehicle sales continue to increase. Like the overall EV market globally, and leading the overall EV market globally, BYD sales have been growing and growing and growing.

Sales of battery electric and plug-in hybrid cars in China were up strongly in May and rapidly approaching 50 percent market share.
BYD’s electric car sales have been growing fast, but they haven’t been growing as fast as BYD’s electric commercial vehicle sales. Let’s start with the buses. BYD’s electric bus sales were up 79.5% in May, compared to May 2024. Sales rose from 239 to 429. Looking at the first five … [continued]
BYD sales continue to grow. Though, there are some big differences depending on powertrain. In the month of May, BYD’s passenger car sales (all plugin vehicles) were up 14.1% year over year. Looking across the first five months of the year, its passenger vehicle sales were up 37%. Not meteoric, … [continued]
BYD electric car sales have been growing strongly, but that’s nothing compared to the growth of BYD’s commercial electric vehicles. BYD’s commercial vehicle sales are reported separately as buses and “others.” While its electric buses have gotten much more attention for years — over a decade even — its BYD’s … [continued]
BYD plugin vehicle sales were up yet again in April. Year over year, plugin vehicle sales were up 19%. However, that only tells part of the story. Just looking at full electric vehicles (BEVs), sales were up 46% year over year in April. On the flip side, plugin hybrid sales … [continued]
