Hey I am on Medialย โขย 7m
BYDโs rise is nothing short of extraordinary. Once a small battery manufacturer, it now leads the global EV revolution, outpacing Tesla in China and expanding worldwide. Founded in 1995, BYD entered the auto industry in 2003 by acquiring the struggling Xiโan Qinchuan Automobile. Instead of traditional manufacturing, founder Wang Chuanfu leveraged BYDโs battery expertise to push electric vehicles. Their early models, like the F3 (a Toyota Corolla lookalike), gained traction, but the company was criticized for reverse engineering. BYD's first plug-in hybrid, the F3 DM, debuted in 2008 but failed commercially. The fully electric E6 followed in 2009, but instead of retail sales, it found success as a fleet vehicle. By 2010, rapid expansion led to growing pains, with overextended dealerships and quality concerns. A course correction focused on quality and brand strength. BYD shifted gears in the 2010s, expanding into electric buses, launching the Dynasty Series in 2013, and forming a short-lived joint venture with Daimler. Government subsidies fueled growth, but when they were cut in 2017, BYD struggled. By 2019, survival became the priority. Then came the turnaround. Between 2020 and 2023, BYD sales skyrocketed from 427,000 to 3 million units, fueled by innovation, strategic investments, and soaring global EV demand. By 2023, BYD had overtaken many competitors, committed to an all-electric future, and ceased producing pure gasoline cars. BYD hit major milestones: 5 million EVs produced by 2023 and 10 million by 2024, becoming the worldโs first automaker to reach that number. It expanded exports, launched its own auto insurance, and built roll-on/roll-off cargo ships to transport vehicles globally. However, challenges remain. High EV costs still deter many buyers, and competition is fierce. But as battery prices drop and global demand rises, BYD is positioned to lead the EV revolution.
