BYD shows no signs of slowing down and just set another plug-in electric car sales record, the sixth consecutive one, exceeding 300,000 units for the very first time.<\/p>\n
According to the company’s report, last month,\u00a0BYD passenger plug-in car sales amounted to 301,095 (including 11,500 Denza premium EVs), which is 38 percent more than a year ago.<\/p>\n
The overwhelming majority of BYD sales are in China, while exports account for about 10 percent of the total result.<\/em><\/p>\n The rate of year-over-year growth continues to gradually weaken, but at a such massive volume, it’s not surprising.<\/p>\n One of the most interesting things is that all-electric cars surged to 165,505 (60 percent more than a year ago), leaving plug-in hybrids noticeably behind (135,590). PHEVs this time were not able to improve on September’s record of 135,700 units sold and their growth rate is lower (nearly 19 percent year-over-year).<\/p>\n In other words, BYD ditched non-rechargeable cars in March 2022 and now shifts more towards all-electric ones.<\/p>\n BYD passenger plug-in car sales last month (YOY change):<\/p>\n BYD also sold 738 commercial electric vehicles for a total of 301,833 plug-in vehicles last month. Out of the total number, some 30,521 BYD plug-ins were exported (another monthly record).<\/p>\n\n
