South China Morning Post • • business
Key Points:
- Tesla reported global deliveries of 358,023 pure electric vehicles (BEVs) between January and March, maintaining a strong international customer base.
- BYD, which produces both BEVs and plug-in hybrids, sold 310,389 BEVs in the same period but faced challenges in its domestic market, a key growth area.
- Despite BYD surpassing Tesla in pure electric car deliveries in Q4 2023, Tesla remains stable due to its broad global presence.
- The two companies have been competing closely for the title of the world’s largest BEV manufacturer since mid-2023.
