BYD’s progress has been astounding lately, particularly for those who go all the way in which again to the severely restricted and laughed-at BYD e6! With the corporate beginning off with that EV, it was arduous to think about it might have the brightest of futures, however as the corporate has developed and the EV market has improved and grown, BYD has turn out to be higher and higher. It has additionally turn out to be increasingly more dominant in its residence market of China and is rapidly exporting EVs to increasingly more nations, whereas additionally constructing factories in increasingly more nations.

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 instances extra NEV (“new energy vehicle”) registrations than #2 Wuling and #3 Tesla, and nearly 8 instances greater than #4 Li Auto. For those who’re extra of a visible individual (as I feel most of us are), right here’s a chart:

Now, in fact, 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 greater and better and now completely dominates the largest EV market, and largest auto market, on this planet. Right here’s a latest chart demonstrating that:

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

As we’ve additionally been reporting, BYD goes into increasingly more markets. In latest months, we’ve had reviews on its enlargement into South Africa, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan, Colombia, Senegal, Thailand, Russia, and absolutely different markets I’m lacking now. As well as, for sure, BYD will likely be getting into extra nations within the coming yr.

BYD is barely in these markets right now, however it’s there now. And as EV prices proceed to come back down, as BYD manufacturing continues to scale up, the corporate will eat into legacy automakers increasingly more and can achieve better and better market share — of small markets, giant markets, and the world as an entire.

We even have had tales on the potential disaster coming Toyota’s means, and the truth that Toyota is even counting on BYD tech for its EVs in China. Given latest a long time, it’s arduous to not see Toyota on the high of the auto charts, however traits indicate that Toyota might be on the way in which down as BYD is on the way in which up. BYD is setting foot in increasingly more markets across the globe, and is unquestionably trying to scale up gross sales in these nations because the “best value for money” supplier of top quality however low cost electrical autos. Nothing actually involves thoughts to cease me from pondering BYD is effectively on its method to changing into “the next Toyota.” And if BYD is the subsequent Toyota, that suggests BYD will turn out to be the biggest automaker on this planet.

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

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