In November, BYD managed to sell 10,675 plug-in electric cars in China, which is the worst result in 21 months and 63% less than a year ago.
The demand significantly declined since July, when the Chinese government significantly limited New Energy Vehicle incentives.
BYD's sales decline (year-over-year):
- July: down 12%
- August: down 23%
- September: down 48%
- October: down 54%
- November: down 63%
After 11 months of 2019, BYD sold over 208,000 plug-in electric cars in China - 10 more than in 2018, but it will be difficult to sell over 18,500 in December to beat 2018's total result of 227,152.
