Electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the global automotive landscape, marking a decisive shift towards sustainable transportation. In Southeast Asia, the ASEAN electric vehicle market is projected to reach US$4.70 billion by 2029, reflecting a strong and growing preference for green mobility. As of 2022, EVs accounted for 14.4% of global vehicle sales, driven by rapid advancements in EV technology and supportive policies worldwide.
Amidst this transformative period, BYD has quietly asserted itself as a global leader in EVs. Originating as a battery manufacturer in 1995, BYD has surpassed industry giants like Tesla, selling approximately 530,000 EVs in Q4 2023 compared to Tesla’s 485,000. In the full year of 2023, BYD produced 3 million new EVs, outpacing Tesla’s 1.84 million.
