BYD is forging ahead with its expansion in Germany, the largest electric vehicle (EV) market in Europe. According to data from Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority, BYD sold 2,629 new vehicles in Germany during January 2026, representing a remarkable surge of over 1,000% year-on-year. This performance not only far outpaces Tesla's sales of 1,301 vehicles in the same period but also nearly doubles BYD's previous figures. Amidst the fierce price competition in China's EV sector, other Chinese-backed brands like MG, Leapmotor, and XPeng are also making significant strides in Europe, with Germany emerging as a crucial battleground for market dominance.
