Over the weekend BYD introduced a refreshed Han, increasing the battery range of the DM-I (PHEV) to 245 km (152 mi), almost doubling the battery range. More than many early BEV’s and enough range to cover typical weekly usage with a couple of charges. In addition, fuel efficiency once the battery is depleted increased to 3.44 l/100 km (68 mpg). On the BEV Han, range increased to 635 km (394 mi) on mainstream models and 705 km (438 mi) on the top spec, up from 605 km and 701 km on previous models.While new product was being launched, China announced significant regulatory changes: in order to qualify for the purchase tax  exemption, PHEVs would need to have a range of at least 100 km (62 mi) and BEVs would have to meet stricter efficiency targets. Several other regulatory announcements, particularly around pricing, and product announcements were also made over the weekend, with more anticipated. Looking at product and regulation together helps to illustrate BYD's overall position in the changing Chinese market, with implications that extend beyond their borders.

From January to July 2025, China’s passenger vehicle exports reflected a global landscape defined by diversification, electrification, and deeper regional integration.

Last year, the company achieved nearly 600 million in revenue but suffered a loss exceeding 200 million.

(Reuters) -Chinese EV maker BYD sold three times as many new cars in the European Union last month than in August 2024, surpassing U.S. competitor Tesla for the second consecutive month, data from the European auto lobby ACEA showed on Thursday. Stellantis returned to sales growth in Europe for the first time in over a year, as the overall market expanded with a boost from plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and battery-electric (BEV) sales. Chinese brands have also used the technology to minimise the impact of the European Union's tariffs on Chinese-made EVs, and to win over China-skeptic European drivers.
