No doubt, they are growing fast! And naturally they would make more than Tesla, since BYD makes more than just BEVs.

BYD's numbers often contain plugin hybrids (PHEV). So if you're trying to compare apples/apples, be sure to look at pure-battery EVs between the two.

Note 'electrified' from a different article from Barrons: "BYD delivered 206,089 electrified passenger vehicles in March [2023], up about 98% from the 104,338 delivered in March 2022. The March 2023 figures include 102,670 all battery electric vehicles and 103,419 plug-in hybrid models."

The article makes clear that BYD will surpass Tesla in BEV sales this year, not including hybrids.
