Chinese EV manufacturer BYD has seen its UK sales surge by 880% in September compared to the previous year, establishing the UK as its largest market outside of China. This growth coincides with record-high electric vehicle sales in the UK, a market that has not imposed tariffs on Chinese EVs, unlike the EU and US.

• BYD sold 11,271 cars in the UK last month, with its market share reaching 3.6%.
• The UK manager, Bono Ge, stated that BYD will launch more new hybrid and electric cars soon, having recently opened its 100th retail outlet.
• The UK government's £650 million ($875 million) scheme to boost EV adoption excludes Chinese-made vehicles, a decision criticized by BYD.
