BYD’s business automobile gross sales are reported individually as buses and “others.” Whereas its electrical buses have gotten rather more consideration for years — over a decade even — its BYD’s non-bus business autos gross sales which have been rising like gangbusters in latest months. You’ll be able to see right here or right here that BYD sells a wide range of totally different electrical vans. For some purpose or one other, demand for these has exploded.

BYD’s electrical buses truly had a tough month final month, declining in gross sales 41.4% yr over yr. By way of the primary 4 months total, its bus gross sales have been up 3.7%, only a smudge.

Nevertheless, its non-bus electrical automotive gross sales have been up enormously — 1248.6% in April and 1195.2% in January–April. They elevated from 525 in April 2024 to 7,080 in April 2025, and from 1,595 in January–April 2024 to twenty,659 in January–April 2025.

However might they keep such a better stage? Effectively, April says sure. That chart is gorgeous, and now I can’t wait to see what Might and the remainder of the yr present.
