New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China

A peek at the interior of the Yangwang U7. It has a cool feature where knocking the door twice automatically opens/closes it.

How many cars do you guys guess BYD will sell this year?

As much as I like BYD, you can't deny the competition is really rising. I'm guessing only a small increase, something like 3.6 million

I think 4 million would be a huge achievement, 3.8 might be more realistic

looks like BYD to finally try the Korean market this year

BYD E 3.0 core techs are being laid out here. Will we see double gun charging on more models?


2023 rankings here for electric motor and electric drive


CNG powered trucks really increasing in sales in 2023

Tank 500 is coming to Cambodia soon. With the Tank 300 price tag at 70,000+ USD, I guess Tank 500 would be nearly 100K. They won't many customers though.

that is hard mode. Korea is one of the most difficult markets for foreign cars due to their tariffs.

When I was in South Korea (Seoul, Busan and Jeju island), I surprisingly hardly saw Japanese cars, quite few German cars though

BYD will sell way more cars this year, due to the availability of its own transport ships going into service.

BYD is extremely popular in NZ ... I myself thinking to replace my wife's BMW with BYD Dolphin or Atto 3 next year .. around NZ$50K here or ~US$30K .. the rebate NZ$7-$8K is over now from 1 Jan 2024

I went to Norway doing Hurtigruten Norwegian coastal cruise in Jan 2024, so many EV cars there. Tesla is dominating over there mainly in Oslo and Bergen but I saw quite many XPENG there, didn't see any BYD (doesn't mean didn't exist there)

Norway is interesting, 98% of electricity is from Hydro and produce 4 million barrel of oil per day and mostly exported, they are quite "allergic" to fossil fuel somehow
