BYD wasted no time, with sales of its new flagship electric sedan reaching 4,000 in just 19 days since its launch.
๐ The Core Development
With a record of more than 300,000 electric vehicles sold last month, BYD sold more EVs than the US did in the entire third quarter, combined.
A big part of the higher demand is thanks to BYDโs latest breakthrough technology, including its second-generation Blade Batteries and Flash Charging technology.
๐ Background & Sector Context
BYD began equipping vehicles with the new battery and charging tech in March, and over the past six months it has posted higher year-over-year sales growth. Through October, BYD sold 1,953,700 vehicles, up 6% compared to the same period in 2025.
On October 13, BYD launched the Great Han, or โDa Hanโ in China, the first fully electric D-segment flagship sedan in its Dynasty lineup.
๐ Industry & Real-World Impact
Just 19 days after its launch, BYD said Great Han EV sales reached 4,000 units. At that rate, sales could reach 10,000 or more in its first full month.
