(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.

Cost-conscious buyers like Hernandez are fuelling rapid growth for Chinese EV carmakers like BYD in Spain and around Europe, stepping up competition with regional and U.S. rivals like Tesla, Stellantis and Volkswagen.
