BYD Overtakes Tesla in European EV Sales
For the first time in history, BYD has overtaken Tesla in electric vehicle (EV) sales in Europe. This groundbreaking development has sent shockwaves through the automotive industry, as Tesla has been a dominant force in the European market for many years.
In April, BYD registered 7,231 electric cars in Europe, surpassing Tesla’s 7,165. This marks a significant 49% decline in Tesla’s sales compared to the previous year, contrasted with BYD’s spectacular growth of 169%. With these sales numbers, BYD has made a remarkable entrance into the European automotive landscape, especially considering it only officially expanded operations to regions beyond Norway and the Netherlands in late 2022.
