BYD is the clear electrical car winner of the yr thus far. Whereas Tesla’s gross sales have stagnated, BYD gross sales are up, up, up. We’ve been writing about its progress in numerous methods as huge information comes out, however I made a decision to leap into BYD’s month-to-month gross sales experiences to create some charts that visualize what’s been occurring this yr, and in addition this yr in comparison with final yr in the identical time interval.
Let’s begin with new power autos general — that’s full electrics (BEVs) plus plugin hybrids (PHEVs). And word this text is barely about passenger autos — I coated BYD buses and business autos right here. As you’ll be able to see within the charts above, BYD new power car (NEV) gross sales climbed steadily within the first 10 months of 2023, however began very poorly within the first two months of this yr (it was a national difficulty), then climbed slowly, after which shot up in gross sales up to now three months. We’ll see what occurs to shut out the yr, however expectations are excessive.
General, BYD’s NEV gross sales within the first 10 months of the yr are up 36.5% in comparison with the primary 10 months of 2023.
Trying simply at full electrical autos (BEVs), it’s an identical development. You don’t see the identical improve in gross sales within the second half of the yr that you just see with NEVs general, however there’s vital enchancment in October. General, within the first 10 months of 2024, BEV gross sales had been up 12% in comparison with the identical interval in 2023.
Naturally, what which means is PHEV gross sales are up a lot this yr. As you’ll be able to see on this third chart, that’s apparent! Whereas PHEV gross sales grew fairly slowly within the first 10 months of 2023, after that blip in the course of the Chinese language New Yr in January and February, PHEV gross sales shot up in 2024 and actually soared up to now couple of months. PHEVs are having a rockin’ yr.
General, BYD’s PHEV gross sales elevated 62% in January–October of 2024 in comparison with January–October of 2023.
This closing chart enables you to see these three in a single place and at one scale. We are able to see that PHEV gross sales have grow to be a much bigger portion of BYD gross sales, and have been the important thing driving power behind BYD’s fast progress not too long ago.
We’ll see how the yr ends and what 2025 brings. Any predictions?
