BYD electrical automotive gross sales have been rising strongly, however that’s nothing in comparison with the expansion of BYD’s business electrical autos.

BYD’s business car gross sales are reported individually as buses and “others.” Whereas its electrical buses have gotten rather more consideration for years — over a decade even — its BYD’s non-bus business autos gross sales which were rising like gangbusters in current months. You may see right here or right here that BYD sells a wide range of completely different electrical vehicles. For some purpose or one other, demand for these has exploded.

BYD’s electrical buses truly had a tough month final month, declining in gross sales 41.4% yr over yr. By the primary 4 months general, its bus gross sales have been up 3.7%, only a smudge.

Nonetheless, its non-bus electrical automotive gross sales have been up enormously — 1248.6% in April and 1195.2% in January–April. They elevated from 525 in April 2024 to 7,080 in April 2025, and from 1,595 in January–April 2024 to twenty,659 in January–April 2025.

I used to be a bit involved that after the sturdy rise in gross sales in December, we’d see a pointy drop. Then they continued to be excessive even by way of the Chinese language New Yr! However may they preserve such the next degree? Properly, April says sure. That chart is gorgeous, and now I can’t wait to see what Might and the remainder of the yr present.
