BYD Surpasses Tesla in European EV Sales Amid Musk Backlash

In a historic shift, Chinese automaker BYD outsold Tesla in Europe’s electric vehicle (EV) market for the first time in April 2025, registering 7,231 battery-electric vehicles compared to Tesla’s 7,165, a 49% year-on-year drop, per JATO Dynamics. BYD’s sales surged 169%, driven by its expanding lineup and competitive pricing, despite EU tariffs. Tesla faces challenges from stiff competition and backlash over CEO Elon Musk’s Trump administration role, with sales declining 36-50% monthly in early 2025. This “watershed moment” highlights BYD’s rapid rise since entering Europe in late 2022. – Business Insider
