The BYD sales report released after November shows that the Chinese automaker reached 2,066,000 electric cars in 11 months, surpassing Tesla’s world record while achieving a total of 4.182 million vehicles and projecting growth until the end of the year.
BYD became the first manufacturer to sell over 2 million electric cars in a single year, reaching exactly 2,066,000 units in just 11 months, according to its November sales report. The performance indicates a significant shift in the global market.
BYD’s total sales reached 4.182 million vehicles between January and November, representing an increase of 11.3% over 2024. Of these, 4.13 million correspond to passenger cars and 4×4 models, while 51,399 are commercial vehicles.

The new Renault Koleos has a screen exclusively for the passenger that is invisible to the driver, heated rear seats, and 29 assistance systems, but its Chinese competitors cost R$ 40,000 less and deliver more power.
The commercial segment registered growth of 213.3% compared to the previous year, consolidating significant progress within the company’s portfolio. The report confirms that the automaker does not sell combustion or light hybrid models, maintaining an exclusive focus on electrified vehicles.
BYD’s electric car sales grew 32.7% by 2025, reaching the announced 2,066,000 units. Meanwhile, plug-in hybrids showed a decline of 5.4%, but still totaled 2.065 million units, a number close to that of fully electric vehicles.
Internal forecasts in China indicate that BYD could close the year with approximately 2.3 million electric cars sold globally. The projection reinforces the continuity of the pace observed in the first 11 months of the analyzed period.
Advances Recorded Specifically in November
The month of November brought another record when BYD registered 474,921 electrified passenger vehicles worldwide, an increase of 8.7% compared to October and a decrease of 5.77% compared to November 2024. The breakdown details relevant monthly behavior.
Within this total, the brand’s electric cars reached 237,540 units, an increase of 19.93% over October. This data reinforces the monthly expansion curve of the company’s fully electric segment.
The second record in November involves international operations. BYD exported 131,935 vehicles during the period, an increase of 57% compared to October and 326% compared to the same month in 2024. The volume highlights progress outside the Chinese market.
By November, the automaker summed up 912,911 vehicles exported in 2025. If the current pace is maintained, the company is expected to exceed one million units sent abroad by the end of the year, according to its own analysis of the available numbers.
Additional Information on Cumulative Performance
The report also shows that the vast majority of vehicles sold in the year belong to the passenger and 4×4 category, consolidating BYD’s presence in this segment. This contributes to consistent distribution across the different regions in which it operates.
The decline recorded in plug-in hybrid volumes does not alter the significant weight of the category within the company’s mix. The numerical proximity between electric and hybrid vehicles reinforces a balanced structure, although with an increasing priority for 100% electric models.
The negative variation observed in November compared to the same month the previous year appears as a natural part of monthly fluctuations, according to the brand’s historical behavior. These adjustments do not compromise the overall growth trend seen in the cumulative performance.
The increase in exports in 2025 represents one of the most striking points of the final November report, in addition to the main record of 2,066,000 electric cars. The automaker has established itself as a global force, according to the material provided.
The data released remains consistent with recent movements in the sector and demonstrates a significant shift in global leadership in electric vehicles, as recorded in the document presenting BYD’s numbers.
