Data released Tuesday by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) showed that in the broader European market — covering the EU, EFTA, and the UK — BYD's new vehicle registrations reached 18,242 units in January, surging 165.0% from 6,884 units in the same period last year. The robust performance propelled BYD's market share in the region to 1.9% from 0.7% in January 2025.

Its market share fell to 0.8%, not only below the 1.0% recorded in the same month last year but also significantly lower than the 3.0% achieved in December 2025. BYD achieved year-on-year growth exceeding 200% in most months of 2025 for its European registrations. Although January's 165% increase marked the company's first dip below the 200% mark since at least June last year, it still maintained exceptionally strong growth momentum. In July last year, BYD surpassed Tesla in new vehicle registrations in Europe. In contrast, Tesla failed to reverse its downward trend in the European market, continuing its weak performance with year-on-year declines in all months. For the EU market, the divergence between the two companies is equally pronounced. In January, BYD registered 13,982 vehicles in the EU, surging 175.3% year-on-year, with its market share jumping from 0.6% to 1.7% compared to the same period last year. During the same period, Tesla's EU registrations dipped slightly by 1.6% to 7,187 units, maintaining its market share at 0.9%. ACEA data further indicates that despite a 3.9% year-on-year decline in overall new vehicle registrations across the EU in January, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) captured a 19.3% market share — up from 14.9% in the same period last year — demonstrating the ongoing potential of the electrification transition. From a global macro perspective, BYD's pure electric vehicle (BEV) sales in 2025 grew by 27.86% compared to the previous year, while Tesla's declined by 8.56%. Notably, BYD's sales portfolio includes a substantial lineup of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), whereas Tesla focuses exclusively on BEV models. Tesla loses BEV crown to BYD in 2025 as global deliveries drop 15.61% in Q4 BYD's full-year 2025 BEV sales reached 2,256,714 units, surpassing Tesla's 1,636,129 units for the first time. ### Related Stocks - [TSLA.US - Tesla](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) - [516380.CN - Hwabao WP CSI Intelligent Electric Vehicle ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/516380.CN.md) - [BYDDY.US - BYD Company](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BYDDY.US.md) - [01211.HK - BYD COMPANY](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01211.HK.md) - [515030.CN - Hua Xia CSI New Energy Vehicles ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/515030.CN.md) - [BYDDF.US - BYD Company Limited](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BYDDF.US.md) - [002594.CN - BYD](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/002594.CN.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | 特斯拉首辆 Cybercab 下线：没有方向盘和踏板的汽车终于来了 | 特斯拉宣布，首辆赛博无人驾驶电动车 Tesla Cybercab 在美国得州超级工厂正式下线。风险提示及免责条款 市场有风险，投资需谨慎。本文不构成个人投资建议，也未考虑到个别用户特殊的投资目标、财务状况或需要。用户应考虑本文中的任何意见、 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276188665.md) | | 34 辆比亚迪电池电动巴士在维罗纳正式投入运营 | 维罗纳运输公司（ATV）推出了 34 辆比亚迪的电池电动公交车，包括 B12 和 K9UD 型号。B12 配备了比亚迪的刀片电池，续航可达 530 公里，总容量为 416 千瓦时。K9UD 型号也支持电动充电，最多可容纳 82 名乘客。此次 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276747397.md) | | 期权热点｜周一 TSLL 大跌 5%，部分看跌期权飙升 114% | 美东时间 02 月 23 日，2 倍做多特斯拉 ETF - Direxion 期权总成交 114579 张，看涨期权占比 68%，看跌期权占比 31%。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276681623.md) | | 现代在海外推出其首款中国制造的电动车，以与特斯拉和比亚迪展开竞争 | 现代汽车在海外推出了其首款专为中国市场设计的电动汽车（EV）Elexio，旨在与特斯拉和比亚迪展开竞争。这款中型电动 SUV 在尺寸和价格上与特斯拉 Model Y 相当。Elexio 是在与北汽集团的合资企业中在中国生产的，目前已在澳大利 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276629491.md) | | 比亚迪欧洲将通过金融公司 DLL 来提升其商用车业务 | 比亚迪欧洲正在与 DLL 合作，以增强其在包括德国在内的九个欧洲国家的电动卡车和公交车的融资选项。这一合作旨在加速可持续交通解决方案的采用，提供多种融资方案，如经营租赁和贷款。比亚迪主要活跃于公交车领域，正在扩大其电动卡车的推出，推出 ET | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276120111.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
