BYD achieves over 300,000 BEV sales in a single month for the first time

In October 2026, BYD sold over 300,000 pure electric vehicles in a single month for the first time. Globally, the Chinese manufacturer delivered over 490,000 vehicles, including plug-in hybrids. This represents an increase of around eleven per cent compared to October 2025.

Specifically, the Chinese manufacturer sold 305,743 battery-electric passenger cars – an increase of 37.4 per cent compared to the same month last year. Even compared to the previous month of September, BYD saw growth: total sales increased by 5.74 per cent, while pure electric car sales rose by 11.9 per cent. This marks the third consecutive month that BEVs have set a new monthly record. The trend underscores that growth within the BYD Group is increasingly shifting towards fully electric drivetrains.

Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), on the other hand, performed less strongly. BYD sold 177,382 units in October – a decline of 17.2 per cent compared to the same month last year. The company had already recorded a slight drop in this drivetrain category in September.

For clarity: the sales figures include all four brands of the group. While these are also listed individually in an infographic, they are not broken down by drivetrain type. The figures show that the core BYD brand sold 423,843 units, the performance-oriented, off-road SUV-focused Fangchengbao brand sold 43,872 vehicles, the premium brand Denza – which has now also launched in Europe – sold 15,152 cars, and the hypercar brand Yangwang sold 258 units.

A key growth driver remains the international business. In October, BYD exported a total of 170,194 vehicles.
