"After surprising analysts with its global rise in sales at the end of 2023, BYD has now raced ahead of Tesla—until recently the undisputed front-runner in EVs. As stock value and sales at Musk’s firm dropped last year, BYD has moved from success to success. In 2024, it sold a record of 4.3 million cars, with a 41 percent increase in sales. It now stands comfortably ahead of Tesla in the general category of new energy vehicles (NEVs), which comprises both Battery-Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). According to the latest reports, it is now neck and neck with Tesla on BEV sales; 1,790,000 for Tesla and, just behind, 1,764,000 for BYD—a 12 percent increase from the previous year. With its current rates of year-on-year growth exceeding 50 percent, and with abundant untapped potential still remaining in the EV industry, it is reasonable to expect BYD overtaking Toyota as the world-leading car firm within the next decade.
BYD is already behaving like a firm which seeks world dominance in its sector. Until recently, the Chinese automotive and EV sector was largely a domestic phenomenon, with the bulk of vehicles sold at home. Now, Chinese EV firms are expanding their production around the world, at an unprecedented scale and speed. Chinese electric vehicles factories —some of which are able to produce more than 100,000 vehicles a year—have sprung up in Indonesia, Thailand, Pakistan, Turkey, Hungary, Brazil, and Mexico to satisfy increasing demand for Chinese EVs which, besides their high quality, are also around 20 percent cheaper than their Western counterparts.
A key factor in BYD’s expansion is an effort to mitigate against the risk of tariffs and other trade barriers in an increasingly protectionist climate."

CNN · A 5-minute charge to go 320 miles. Chinese EV battery giant CATL says its tech is even better than Tesla-killer BYD’s

“China’s BYD is kicking Tesla’s ass, shipping 318,000 cars in February 2025—a 161% jump—while Tesla’s China sales collapsed. Europe’s gone cold, Australia’s done, and even the U.S. is losing faith. But the real gut punch? Trump’s tariffs. A 25% levy on imported vehicles has slammed Tesla’s margins, and China’s retaliatory 125% tariff on U.S.-made Teslas has turned a key market into a kill zone.”

"BYD recently revealed new fast-charging technology that can add 250 miles of range with a 5 minute charge. Significantly faster than Tesla and matching the convenience of a regular [ICE] car."

BYD will release an electric kei car for the japanese market in 2026.
How do you make people buy your cars? Create models for the market that customers actually want. That's what Toyota did in US in the 1980s, and that's what BYD does in Japan now.
And that's exactly what US automakers are *not* doing here in Japan. So no wonder people don't want their cars.

Continued thread
Grid power was restored at 1.22 am (17 hours 43 minutes after it went out) but I was in bed by then so our car continued to supply power to our fridge-freezer, WiFi, etc. overnight. By the time I disconnected everything from the V2L adaptor it had been providing power for us for 24 hours and used a total of 7.2 kWh in that time, leaving the car battery at 91%.
The V2L adaptor goes back into its storage spot in the sub-basement of the boot, and I've decided to keep one of the 30 metre extension cords and the power board box in the frunk just in case I need them when on the road.
Continued thread
So far so good. The scheduled power outage started about 7:40 am, but I was able to quickly restore power to the fridge-freezer, the NBN box & WiFi router, the lizard's heat lamp and lighting, and my working from home monitor, laptop, etc.
I have the Vehicle-to-Load adaptor plugged into the car, two extra heavy duty 30 metre long extension cables plugged onto that inside a weatherproof power board box, and a mess of additional power boards and extension cords inside the house. Fortunately, apart from the fridge which is directly connected to the V2L adaptor, it's all very low power so having lots of long cables will be OK.
Being able to work from home pretty much as I normally do on Wednesdays is nice, but not having to worry about everything in the freezer defrosting is really, really nice.
Sorry, but China EV manufacturer BYD just kicked Tesla’s ass around the block and then some.
They aren’t even in the same game.
Active magnetic suspension, 4-motor drive 1300hp, independent turning on every wheel. It can literally climb stairs, u-turn in place on a narrow road & shift itself sideways to park.
I would totally drive this beast if I could afford it. I don’t give AF that it’s chinese. Amazing tech.

BYD is basically eating the #swasticar 's lunch. Sadly you won't see them in the US thanks to the tariffs.
Range anxiety? Not me!
This was actually deliberate. The BYD Seal owner's manual recommends occasionally running the battery down to < 10% then charging uninterrupted up to 100%. The purpose of this is to allow the battery management system to recalibrate, ensuring that its estimates of available charge remaining will remain accurate as the battery ages. The manual recommends doing this every 3-6 months if the car is being driven daily, though the change in battery capacity over that time should be minimal.
