In April, BYD outsold Tesla in the European EV market for the first time, registering 7,231 vehicles compared to Tesla's 7,165. This shift represents a significant change in the competitive landscape, as Tesla has dominated for nearly a decade. BYD's registrations reflect a 169% increase from the previous year, while Tesla faced a 49% drop. The overall European EV market grew by 28%, with local brands like Volkswagen leading the surge. Volkswagen achieved impressive sales numbers, marking a pivotal month for the automotive industry in Europe.
For the first time, Chinese giant BYD has registered more pure electric cars in the region than Tesla, marking a huge shift in the European car industry.
The difference between the two is negligible-just 66 units-but it's a big deal in the grand scheme of things, especially considering that the European Union has increased import tariffs on Chinese-made EVs.
