Pretty sure BYD beats Tesla in EV numbers. I'm already seeing EV fleet taxis in Asian cities. https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/insideevs.com/byd-1-world-plug-in

- Robotbeat 9y agoChina, sure. I believe that. But the car standards are different. These cars are not available in the west because they do not meet standards of developed countries. (Not saying they won't, eventually! I expect BYD and other Chinese firms to eventually be competing in the West as well.)
- shanghaiaway 9y agoTake your racist BS to another message board. All EV busses in Sweden are BYD. They're popular throughout Europe.
- Robotbeat 9y agoMy comment intended no racism whatsoever, just acknowledging the current state of the Chinese automobile market, and I acknowledged this was only temporary. You are correct about buses, though. BYD is dominating everyone else in electric buses.
- Robotbeat 9y agoJust checked, and Tesla now beats even BYD, although it’s close. Tesla sold more in Q4 2017 and Q1 2018 (each at just under 30,000) than BYD, so recently they have even eclipsed BYD: https://insideevs.com/byd-increases-plug-in-car-sales-to-over-13000-in-march/ https://insideevs.com/byd-increases-plug-in-car-sales-to-ove...
