The total, sales of BYD cars in China increased this year to 227,152 (up 109% year-over-year) in 2018, and far exceeded the goal of 200,000.
It’s not enough to stay the best-selling plug-in car manufacturer in the world (Tesla delivered around 245,240 all-electric cars), even if we would assume a minor number of BYD sales outside China.
However, BYD said that the total plug-in electric vehicle sales amounted 247,811 (more than Tesla) , when taking into consideration 20,659 commercial vehicle (buses, trucks). We are however sceptical of such a comparison.
