Let’s bounce into BYD’s June numbers for a better have a look at the latter.
Taking a look at BYD’s general plugin passenger automobile gross sales (vehicles, pickup vans, and SUVs that may cost by plugging into an electrical energy outlet), we will see that they’ve been steadily rising month after month just lately. That appears par for the course on this a part of the yr for BYD — however at a better degree than in earlier years. Total, they had been up 11% over June 2024, whereas January–June 2025 gross sales had been up 31.5% over January–June 2024 gross sales.

These are literally enormous will increase in gross sales, particularly contemplating they had been already ranging from a excessive base.
On the flip facet, plugin hybrid gross sales truly declined. So, whilst the corporate’s general gross sales and BEV gross sales have solidly reached #1 globally, the considerably gas-backed-up plugin hybrids that some folks criticize BYD for truly declined a bit. And that’s the third month in a row of declining PHEV gross sales. Total, its PHEV gross sales had been down 12.5% in June 2025 YoY, whereas they had been up 23.7% in January–June 2025 YoY.
To wrap up, right here’s a have a look at all three of these groupings in a single chart. The large breaks or drops in gross sales come at the start of every yr throughout the large Chinese language New 12 months celebrations, and gross sales shoot up on the finish of every yr. It’s laborious to select middle-of-the-year months on this mixed chart, however you possibly can simply accomplish that within the interactive model under (finest seen and toyed with on an actual pc, not a cellphone).
