March brings - finally - some good news from China, where plug-in electric car sales improved significantly over February. One of the top Chinese EV brands, BYD, also noted a noticeable improvement.
Total sales in March amounted to 11,763 (down 60% year-over-year), which is 329% more than in February. Together with ICEs, BYD sold 30,106 cars.
During the first quarter, BYD's plug-in car sales went down some 70% to 21,520, but from now on it should go up. The biggest hope for the future is the upcoming new BYD Han model.
