Chinese EV giant BYD sees UK sales soar by 880%

Chinese automotive giant BYD has achieved a remarkable milestone in the UK, with its sales skyrocketing by 880% in September compared to the same period last year. The company sold 11,271 vehicles in the UK last month, with the plug-in hybrid version of its Seal U sports utility vehicle (SUV) leading the charge. This surge has positioned the UK as BYD’s largest market outside China, underscoring the growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) in the region.
