BYD sales in Germany and the UK — the two largest auto markets in Europe — have surged significantly in January.

January 2026 electric vehicle sales show stable penetration (16%) month on month and a significant growth year on year.

China’s giant automaker BYD announced on Tuesday that it was the best-selling brand in Spain across both fully electric and hybrid models.

Several accounts on Chinese social media Xiaohongshu (RedNote) have revealed images of the next generation of BYD “Flash Chargers” (aka, “megawatt chargers”). According to the label on the plastic wrap surrounding the charge gun, the 1000 V DC chargers offer up to 1200 kW of charging power, presumably for each gun. Other labels indicate 1500 kW and 2100 kW, which could be for the pile with two charge guns or some other system-level output. We will need to wait for confirmation. Of note, BYD’s current flash chargers introduced last March offer 1360 kW per pile, accessible via both charge guns used simultaneously. So, this is likely a bit of a performance upgrade.

Shenzhen-listed shares of BYD Group fell over 4.2% on Monday, closing at 87.05 yuan — the lowest price in 16 months — a day after the company reported its weakest sales figures in nearly two years.…

BYD sold 210,051 NEVs in January, representing a 30.11% decline year-on-year and a steep 50.04% drop compared to December.

BYD exported 100,482 NEVs in January, a 51.47% increase year-on-year, marking one of the few bright spots.
