Full-year electric vehicle sales figures have dropped for 2025, revealing China's BYD is now officially global top dog.
Tesla's electric vehicle sales fell 9% in 2025 from a year ago amid the expiration of a $7,500 EV U.S. tax credit.
Tesla’s rough year took it to its second straight annual sales decline, and saw it lose its global EV sales leadership to China’s BYD.
China EV maker BYD has published preliminary sales data for 2025 that could put it ahead of Tesla when it comes to global sales.
BYD led China EV deliveries in 2025, though its December sales took a hit from the aggressive price war and weak domestic demand.
The milestone would cap an extraordinary rise for BYD, a company Tesla's Elon Musk once dismissed by laughing at their products.
