BYD Outpaces Tesla in Global Electric Vehicle Sales
On March 27, 2025, Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer BYD officially surpassed Tesla in global EV sales for the first time, marking a major milestone in the ongoing competition between the two companies. BYD’s continued momentum highlights China’s growing dominance in the EV sector.
The company has set an ambitious goal of selling 5.5 million vehicles in 2025, which includes both plug-in hybrid and fully electric models. Of this total, BYD aims to export 800,000 units outside of China, focusing on emerging and established markets such as the United Kingdom, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
Global Expansion Strategy
BYD's aggressive international strategy is designed to counter slowing domestic demand while leveraging the brand’s growing popularity in foreign markets. The company has already made significant inroads in Europe with its Atto 3 SUV and Dolphin hatchback, and is actively establishing distribution networks across Asia and the Americas.
Market Reaction
Following the announcement, BYD’s Hong Kong-listed shares rose by 2.4%, reflecting investor confidence in the brand’s expansion plan and global competitiveness. The company is also increasing production capacity at its overseas plants to meet anticipated demand.
