According to a report on the “Nihon Keizai Shimbun” website on January 1, BYD sold 2.25 million pure electric vehicles in 2025, surpassing Tesla to become number one in the world. According to data released by Chinese auto giant BYD on the 1st, it sold 2.25 million new pure electric vehicles in 2025, an increase of 28% over the previous year. According to the report, this figure is expected to exceed the annual sales volume of US electric vehicle giant Tesla. Judging from a natural year perspective, it is a foregone conclusion that BYD topped the global pure electric vehicle sales list for the first time. Although Tesla did not announce sales for the full year of 2025, the average market forecast released on December 29, 2025 shows that sales are expected to be 1.64 million units, down 8% from 2024. In 2024, Tesla was ahead of BYD by a narrow margin of about 20,000 vehicles, while in 2025, BYD's sales volume surpassed Tesla by a large margin. While opening up a huge market in China, BYD is also actively expanding overseas sales. BYD's surpassing Tesla this time means that it is expected to use its scale advantage to strengthen parts procurement capabilities and further enhance price competitiveness.
