BYD sold fewer all-electric cars than before the pandemic

[F-22Raptor]

BEIJING — Chinese automaker BYD sold fewer all-electric passenger cars in the first six months of this year than the same period in 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic.

The company, backed by U.S. billionaire Warren Buffett, said Monday it sold 20,016 all-electric passenger cars in June for a total of 93,440 units in the first half of the year — double the year-ago figure.

But that growth still fell short of sales of 95,779 all-electric passenger cars in the first six months of 2019.

In June, BYD also sold 84 more hybrid-powered passenger cars than all-electric ones. That contrasted with a recent trend of BYD's all-electric cars outselling hybrid ones.


Passenger car sales in China likely fell 14.9% in June from a year ago, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said Monday. Vehicle sales overall likely fell to 1.93 million units in June, a decline of 16.3% year-on-year and down 9.5% from the prior month, the association said.

The figures indicate China's vehicle sales still rose over the last two years.

Based on the association's estimate, data from Wind shows China would have sold 12.8 million vehicles in the first half of 2021. That's up 24.8% from a year ago and above the 12.3 million units sold in the same period in 2019.


BYD's overall vehicle sales of 246,689 units in the first half of the year exceeded the 228,072 units sold during the same period in 2019.

The company announced in June it shipped 100 all-electric cars to Norway, the first batch of a planned 1,500 vehicles set for delivery to the country by the end of the year.

The automaker's latest all-electric car sales also kept BYD well ahead of start-up rivals.

Nio delivered more than 41,900 electric carsduring the first half of 2021.

However, Elon Musk's Tesla remained a global leader in electric cars, delivering 201,250 vehicles in the second quarter alone.

This is supposed to be the “competition” for Tesla?

After Berlin and Austin ramp, Tesla is leaving everyone else in the dust. As if it hasn’t already…

On July 5th, BYD Automobile announced its sales data for June. The cumulative sales of new cars was 49,765, a year-on-year increase of 52.5% and a month-on-month increase of 10.2%. Among them, the sales volume of new energy vehicles was 40,116, a year-on-year increase of 207.1%.

From the perspective of sales, the sales of pure electric vehicles were 20,016, and the sales of plug-in hybrid models were 20,100, accounting for a similar proportion.

In terms of specific models, BYD Han's sales volume was 8,386, continuing to lead the domestic medium and large sedan market."





BTW That doesn't even breakout out just the 100% EV model..
Now at the 1 year mark and I think we can declare it a failure...that is according to the logic Beast was using a year ago for Tesla sales...

BYD Han is a beast.

Because other Chinese EV brands have risen. Huawei sold fewer phones. But it doesn't mean Apple won more share.

Also, BYD is increasing its electric truck and bus sales. Tesla don't make any electric truck or bus.

Chinese EV companies will continue to lose ground to Tesla. Remember, Tesla is a GLOBAL company, not a one market phony.

BYD sells a lot in the US too.

I thought BYD was going global in 2011 with the first 100% EV family sedan while Tesla was a "unprofitable poser Ponzi scheme by some guy hacking Lotus sportscars in his garage". That's what Chinese members here posted over and over for YEARS.

Now in 2021 look who is the poser...isn't that funny how things turned out.

Of course now some people wince and don't like to see it posted...

BYD sells a lot of electric trucks and busses in North America, Europe for example. Private sedans are AFAIK not yet sold outside China.

Don't leave out Supa Powa India F22, they can make speedy electric risksaw.

BYD doesn't rely on EV, it has a complete supply chain including batteries, materials and semiconductor fabs.

Tesla really only has EV, they don't have semiconductor fabs (they outsource their autopilot chips to Nvidia at first, now they design it but still get it fabbed by TSMC) or their own batteries (they license the chemistry from CATL, LG and Panasonic).

US EV brand in China is shrinking in percentage while China homegrown brand percentage expand every month.

BYD is not the only China EV in our market.
