Interestingly, BYD is selling more cars in the UK than Tesla is.
- Earw0rm 2y agoMost Brits aren't wealthy, BYD are aggressively priced - as are other Chinese brands like Omoda. New prices for full EV compare pretty favourably to ICE cars from the traditional mid-market brands, the Fords / Volkswagens / Vauxhalls.
- mytailorisrich 2y agoI doubt that is true. According to [1], 2024 sales by model (2 Teslas on podium, 0 BYD in top 10): FULL YEAR 2024 - UK EV sales Tesla Model Y 32,862 Audi Q4 e-tron 17,621 Tesla Model 3 17,425 MG4 15,651 BMW i4 12,953 Mercedes EQA 11,617 Skoda Enyaq 11,516 Hyundai KONA 10,858 Volvo EX30 9,931 Volkswagen ID.4 8,927 This maches my experience of English roads. I must have seen one BYD (driven by a Chinese...) while Teslas are everywhere now.
