There's no BYD in those charts?
- AndrewDucker 9mo ago
  It's only showing the top 8 groups. BYD are presumably part of the missing percentage (show it as a bar graph to see how much isn't covered). Looking at the data in more detail, BYD are selling about half of Tesla. (85k across Europe in 2025 vs 185k for Tesla)

But these numbers don't split out only EVs. So assuming these numbers are correct, BYD would be below even Geeley which seems... odd. It's probably availability bias, but I see BYD cars every day and that's not true for Geely.

    Depends on the country (I presume you're in the EU). In the Netherlands, there are loads of Geely vehicles (Volvo, Polestar, Lynk&co and the occasional Zeekr) on the road while BYD is relatively rare (except for city busses).
    - SideburnsOfDoom 9mo ago
      London, UK: BYD was rare, but is rapidly growing now. Expect similar in the EU. Zeekr is coming. Polestar/Geely is there and the new models are popular for small-volume expensive cars. MG (owned by SAIC) is another new entrant with low price and high volume. Kia/Hyundai vehicles are also common for a long time.
  - rsynnott 9mo ago
    Which country? It's surprisingly variable. Note that Geely owns Volvo (or, at least, Volvo Car; the company that makes HGVs is separate) and Polestar; you won't see much under their own brand.
    - runroader 9mo ago
      Well that would explain it, plenty of Polestars around; I guess I knew somewhere in my mind that they owned Volvo/Polestar now but I totally forgot when writing that
- rsynnott 9mo ago
  For all the press, BYD isn't actually that big in Europe. As you can see, Geely (another Chinese brand, which gets very little press) is actually bigger. If you look at the data for Spain, where they're quite big, you'll see them, but they're not getting into the top 8 for Western Europe as a whole (which is what this site shows).
