I think Tesla has forced BYD to improve its technology and overall offering while BYD is now forcing Tesla to find a way to raise its volumes.<\/p>\n<p>This is great overall.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, they sort of had different approaches where Tesla started up market and it is now going down with the highly-anticipated \u201c$25,000 Tesla, while BYD started down market, and it is now coming out with very cool premium electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2024\/01\/02\/byd-overtakes-tesla-battery-electric-vehicle-volume\/\">BYD overtakes Tesla in overall battery-electric vehicle volume | Electrek<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jan 2 2024<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":17977,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[113],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industrial-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
