Sales of China’s giant BYD have surged year over year across Europe in September, with the company nearing sales figures of rival MG and US brand Tesla in the continent.

BYD unveils a teaser of its first Japan-specific electric kei car, debuting at 2025 Tokyo Motor Show, with a 20-kWh Blade battery and up to 180 km WLTC range.

Europe’s car industry faces a perfect storm. Chinese car exports are surging, European producers are being squeezed out of global markets, US tariffs are rising, and domestic demand remains 20% below pre-pandemic levels. Instead of sliding into a costly muddle of regulatory rollbacks, bailouts, and fragmented national subsidies, the EU should harness its single market - 450 million consumers and a vast corporate sector - to drive demand for Europe-made vehicles. That means co-ordinating consumer subsidies with a buy-European clause, applying it to both private and corporate fleets, and using it as a platform for reciprocal EV-subsidy agreements with trusted trade partners. A window for action is open: Germany, France, Italy, and Spain all need to renew their EV-support schemes in the coming months. Together, they represent 70% of EU car registrations—and could launch broader European coordination.

China’s giant BYD will be launching its first fully electric kei at the upcoming Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo, scheduled to begin on October 29.
