BYD sold 2.26 million battery electric vehicles, outpacing Teslas 1.63 million deliveries.

The decline can be attributed to President Trumps rollback of EV subsidies and emissions rules.BYD, founded by battery expert Wang Chuanfu, experienced a 28% increase in pure electric sales, despite competition at home.
