BYD has truly returned to its best form and sells more plug-in electric cars than ever before with a high growth rate, which suggests even better results in the latter part of the year.

In June, the company sold in China 40,116 passengers plug-in cars, which is 207% more than a year ago, and a new monthly record.

Plug-ins stand for about 81% of total BYD car sales in June (49,765), which matches the 81% record from December 2018.

It’s great to see BYD progressing like that after a few weaker years, especially since currently the competition is much more challenging than before. BYD’s key to success is the in-house developed LFP batteries, launched in new Blade Battery (cell-to-pack) approach, which increases energy density and lowers costs.

BYD car sales breakdown:

  • BEVs: 20,016 (up 102% year-over-year)
  • PHEVs: 20,100 (up 537% year-over-year)

So far in 2021, the company has sold in China 150,211 plugs-in (up 161% year-over-year).

An interesting thing is that the plug-in hybrids and all-electric cars sell at a comparable number now. Mostly thanks to the Qin Plus DM PHEV – a new Balde Battery-powered Qin plug-in hybrid that surged to a record of 9,269 in June! Also the Blade Battery-powered Qin Plus EV is doing well with 4,272 units last month.

The Han flagship noted 8,386 units (5,815 BEV and 2,571 PHEV). Another noteworthy thing is a record of 3,972 BYD e2.
