BYD is on a hot streak. The Chinese EV powerhouse sold over 380,000 electric and hybrid vehicles in April alone. For the first time in over a year, fully electric vehicles (EVs) outsold hybrids. And with record overseas sales for the fifth consecutive month, BYD is poised for even more growth in 2025.

BYD sold more EVs than hybrids in April 2025

BYD posted its best sales month of 2025 with 380,089 new energy vehicles (NEVs) sold last month. That’s up 21% from the 313,245 vehicles it sold in April 2024.

Passenger vehicles accounted for 372,615 of the total, while BYD sold another 7,474 commercial vehicles last month.

For the first time since January 2024, BYD sold more EVs than hybrids. BYD’s EV sales surged 45% year-over-year with 195,740 fully electric cars sold in April. Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) sales, on the other hand, were nearly at 176,875.

As it expands into new markets to drive growth, BYD’s overseas sales hit another record in April, its fifth consecutive month of growth. BYD sold 79,089 EV and hybrid vehicles overseas in April, nearly double the number sold last year.

Earlier this week, the BYD “Shenzhen,” the world’s largest car transport ship, set sail on its first voyage to Brazil. It’s BYD’s fourth car carrier, capable of transporting 9,200 vehicles.

The Chinese EV giant is already a leading EV brand in several overseas markets like Brazil, Mexico, and parts of Southeast Asia, but analysts expect even more growth in 2025.

According to S&P Global Mobility, BYD’s sales in Europe are expected to more than double this year, with around 186,000 units sold. By 2029, this number could reach around 400,000.

BYD is best known for its ultra-affordable EVs, like the Seagull, which starts at under $10,000 in China. However, it’s quickly expanding into new segments. With new midsize smart SUVs, luxury vehicles, sports cars, pickup trucks, and more, this could be just the start for BYD’s global expansion.
