BYD’s progress has been astounding lately, particularly when you go all the best way again to the severely restricted and laughed-at BYD e6! With the corporate beginning off with that EV, it was exhausting to think about it could have the brightest of futures, however as the corporate has advanced and the EV market has improved and grown, BYD has develop into higher and higher. It has additionally develop into increasingly dominant in its house market of China and is rapidly exporting EVs to increasingly international locations, whereas additionally constructing factories in increasingly international locations.

One key factor that triggered this text was the corporate’s car insurance coverage registrations in China within the final week of August. BYD scored 88,800 registrations, greater than 6 occasions extra NEV (“new energy vehicle”) registrations than #2 Wuling and #3 Tesla, and virtually 8 occasions greater than #4 Li Auto. When you’re extra of a visible individual (as I believe most of us are), right here’s a chart:

Now, after all, that’s not out of the blue. We’ve been publishing month-to-month EV gross sales reviews on China for years, and BYD has climbed increased and better and now completely dominates the most important EV market, and largest auto market, on the earth. Right here’s a current chart demonstrating that:

It’s exhausting to think about every other automaker coming near BYD in China. It’s additionally straightforward to presume that BYD will develop increasingly because the Chinese language auto market goes from 51% NEV gross sales.

As we’ve additionally been reporting, BYD goes into increasingly markets. In current months, we’ve had reviews on its growth into South Africa, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan, Colombia, Senegal, Thailand, Russia, and certainly different markets I’m lacking now. As well as, surely, BYD shall be coming into extra international locations within the coming yr.

BYD is barely in these markets right this moment, nevertheless it’s there now. And as EV prices proceed to return down, as BYD manufacturing continues to scale up, the corporate will eat into legacy automakers increasingly and can acquire higher and higher market share — of small markets, massive markets, and the world as an entire.

We even have had tales on the potential disaster coming Toyota’s manner, and the truth that Toyota is even counting on BYD tech for its EVs in China. Given current a long time, it’s exhausting to not see Toyota on the prime of the auto charts, however developments indicate that Toyota may very well be on the best way down as BYD is on the best way up. BYD is setting foot in increasingly markets across the globe, and is unquestionably seeking to scale up gross sales in these international locations because the “best value for money” supplier of top of the range however low cost electrical automobiles. Nothing actually involves thoughts to cease me from considering BYD is nicely on its solution to turning into “the next Toyota.” And if BYD is the subsequent Toyota, that suggests BYD will develop into the most important automaker on the earth.

Persuade me in any other case. What arguments are there, actually, to counter this?

Oh yeah, and BYD already has its personal ocean delivery vessels and is a pacesetter in battery manufacturing! The corporate is vertically built-in like no different.
