Tuesday, 2026/01/0689 words2 minutes1895 reads
China's BYD is now selling more electric cars than Tesla. In 2025, BYD sold over 2.25 million electric cars.
Tesla sold 1.64 million cars, which is less than last year. Tesla faced problems like less interest in new cars and more competition from Chinese companies. BYD's cars are often cheaper than other brands. This helped BYD sell more cars in many countries.
In the UK, BYD became very popular, with sales growing by 880% in one year. However, Tesla still makes more money from its car sales than BYD.
