I see sources saying BYD sold 187,657 vehicles in Europe in 2025, and MG sold 307,812. Interesting.

BYD sells a lot of hybrids rather than BEVs fyi. I believe its the majority of their sales maybe?

Of course, because the agreement between the European Union and Chinese limits battery electric vehicles, but does not limit hybrids the same way… which I think speaks again to the ability of the different manufacturers to compete on a “fair” basis

How long until they are devoured by the Chinese? Geely already owns Volvo.

Things have changed a lot since 2025. In fact in October BYD sold a ton of cars in Europe.

Chinese EV have heavy import taxes in the EU. Also in France, (I don’t know in other countries), you get more subvention when buying an EU-made EV. This heavily distorts the market to try to save VW and friends.
Not so in Europe. In the Netherlands, the top 10 EVs sold in 2025 [1] has not a single Chinese car.
