July 2020 unfortunately did not bring the long-awaited year-over-year growth of BYD plug-in electric car sales in China.
The Chinese company sold some 13,801 plug-in electric cars, which is 16% less than a year ago and about 46% of the brand's total car volume.
Since the all-new BYD Han just entered the market with 1,205 units in July, maybe August will finally be a positive month. BYD would have to sell more than 16,100 to note growth.
