BYD Sales Top $100 Billion, Overtakes Tesla
Mint Chennai
|March 25, 2025
BYD Co.'s sales last year surpassed the $100 billion mark, leapfrogging Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. on revenue, as the Chinese auto giant wows consumers with a range of electric and hybrid cars with high-tech features.
Shenzhen-based BYD has reported revenue of 777 billion yuan ($107 billion) for the 12 months ended 31 December, up 29%, according to a filing late Monday, beating estimates for 766 billion yuan. Tesla's 2024 revenue was $97.7 billion. The Chinese EV maker's net income rose 34% year-on-year to 40.3 billion yuan, beating analyst estimates for 39.5 billion yuan.
BYD has risen quickly to the top of China's car market—the world's biggest and most competitive in terms of electric vehicles. This year alone, BYD has unveiled a new ecosystem that allows EVs to charge for 400 kilometers in just five minutes and introduced advanced driver assistance technology in even its most basic models. Investors have sent its shares to a record and BYD's Hong Kong-listed stock is up around 51% this year.
