【Major News from China: BYD Surpasses Tesla to Become the World's Largest Electric Vehicle Manufacturer】
On January 2, 2026, in Washington, the Associated Press released a news article stating:
In 2025, Tesla lost its position as the world's best-selling electric vehicle manufacturer, delivering 1.64 million vehicles throughout the year, a 9% decrease compared to the same period last year. At the same time, its competitor BYD delivered 2.26 million vehicles throughout the year, becoming the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturer. For Tesla, once seemingly unstoppable and unbeatable, this is a shocking and unacceptable reversal. For BYD, once not expected to succeed, this is a miracle, as BYD has become a favorite in overseas markets and is deeply loved by consumers.
