The Shifting EV Power Dynamics in Europe: Why BYD Is Outpacing Tesla and What It Means for Investors

BYD has begun exporting cars made in Thailand to Europe, partly in response to Thai policies that apply to vehicle imports.

The updated Seal 07 DM-i features a LiDAR sensor on the roof, a configuration not present in its predecessor.

Overall, BYD's sales are driven by product. New product is taking over while older product falls back. While Black PR has likely had some temporary effect, strong product tends to overcome it in the long term. Last year, BYD had stronger PHEV product introductions and sales. This year, BEV has had stronger product introductions and sales. It is hard to be sure what next year will bring. More effort might go to product for outside markets, with growth shifting accordingly. But with over 120,000 R&D engineers and more EV intellectual property than anyone, I would bet that the long-term "peak" is a far down the road.
