August brought another plug-in electric car sales record for BYD - the fourth consecutive one, but the growth is no longer as high as in 2021 and 2022.
passenger plug-in car sales amounted to 274,086 , which is 57.5 percent more than a year ago .
There is no doubt that BYD will continue to grow in 2023, but the scale is already so high that there is not much potential for doubling or tripling sales, like the company had done so in the past. The overwhelming majority of BYD sales are in China, while exports stand for several percent of the total result.
In recent months, battery electric car sales are outpacing plug-in hybrid car sales. In the case of BEVs, 145,627 units were sold last month, while PHEVs noted 128,459 units. Both numbers are new records.BYD also sold 300 commercial electric vehicles for a total of 274,386 plug-in vehicles last month. Out of the total number, some 25,023 BYD plug-ins were exported .So far this year, BYD sold over 1.78 million passenger plug-in electric cars, which is 83 percent more than a year ago.
Last month, the next two most popular nameplates were the stand-alone, all-electric BYD Seagull and BYD Dolphin . Next was the BYD Yuan all-electric family .
