BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles, recorded its best sales month in 2025 in June, benefiting from price reductions across its entire range, a decision that drew criticism from government authorities and its rivals in the automotive sector.
The Chinese giant sold 377,628 passenger vehicles in June. Of these vehicles, 206,884 were fully electric cars and 170,744 were plug-in hybrid vehicles. Thus, sales of 100% electric models registered a growth of 42.5%, while sales of plug-in hybrids fell by 12.5% compared to the same month in 2024.
It is worth noting that this is the first time that BYD has sold more than 200,000 fully electric vehicles in two consecutive months in China.
Meanwhile, BYD’s exports reached 90,049 units in June, representing an increase of 233.6% compared to the 30,014 units recorded in June 2024.
Overall, in the first six months of 2025, BYD sold 2,113,271 passenger cars, an increase of 31.5% compared to the 1,607,145 units sold in the same period last year. For the year 2025, the Shenzhen-based company aims to achieve sales of 5.5 million vehicles, after reaching global sales of 4.27 million vehicles in 2024.
