BYD Sells 320,000 Vehicles in April, Maintaining Its Top Position

[Market Landscape] BYD sold 320,000 new energy vehicles (NEVs) in April, retaining its title as the sales champion.

Core Developments: Dual Drivers of Technology and Infrastructure Reinforce Leadership

BYD has surpassed 1.02 million cumulative vehicle deliveries from January to April, continuing to lead the market. Its second-generation Blade Battery and Flash Charging technology directly address key user pain points—“70% charge in 5 minutes” and “only 3 extra minutes needed at minus 30 degrees Celsius”—effectively alleviating range and charging anxiety.

Key Metrics: Rising Penetration Rate and Expanding Network

In April, the NEV penetration rate reached 61.4%, meaning more than 6 out of every 10 new cars sold were NEVs. As of May 6, BYD had built 5,924 flash charging stations across 311 cities, rapidly eliminating charging dead zones.

Strategic Foundation: Multi-Brand Portfolio Drives Synergistic Growth

The Song family under Dynasty Network sold nearly 70,000 units in a single month, led by the Song Pro DM-i (27,107 units), Song PLUS (25,863 units), and Song Ultra EV (12,000 units), forming a strong product lineup that supports steady overall growth.
