BYD has pulled ahead of Tesla in the global EV sales race in 2025, with a lead of 400,000 units. The Chinese company narrowly lost out to its American rival in 2024.

Ford CEO Jim Farley says that the company was 25 years behind Chinese automaker BYD, a revelation that came about after he hired Doug Field years ago.

China’s clean tech exports hit a record $20 billion in August 2025, with EV and battery demand surging worldwide, led by emerging markets.

As reported by CnEVPost, BYD’s overall quarterly sales were down 1.82% YoY with passenger vehicles down 2.1%, while commercial vehicles were up 52.61%. While PHEV sales were down 23.72%, BEV sales were up 31.37%. While the Chinese market declined, overseas sales were up 146.42%. Looking deeper, the BYD brand saw the bulk of the decline, while premium brand Fang Cheng Bao stands out, with sales up 344.87% in September, driven by the Ti3 BEV and recently launched Ti7 PHEV, which have tended to be supply-constrained.However, this is BYD’s first YoY drop in sales since 2020. In a quarter when several other automakers saw increases. What’s happening?

Wang Chuanfu, the founder of BYD Co., has tried his hand at many things. Producing batteries, making electronics and most recently, what BYD is famous for, electric vehicles. But for more than a decade, he’s also been attempting to build out another enterprise — a monorail network to solve the problems of congestion and carbon emissions at the same time.

BYD is bringing its cut-price electric city hatch to Australia with the promise it will be the cheapest EV from any brand in local showrooms.
