China's electric vehicle giant BYD's third quarter pure electric vehicle sales reached 430,603, an increase of 23%over the second quarter, and only 3456 units in the same period from the global electric vehicle sales champion Tesla, which set the most between the two.Narrow gap record.

Tesla said that the decline in sales was caused by the suspension of the factory upgrade plan, but it emphasized that the sales target of about 1.8 million vehicles this year remained unchanged.
For BYD and Tesla's entry into the hot competition, Lin Dawei, a senior researcher at the East Asian Research Institute of Singapore, was judged in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post. From this year of this year, BYD's fourth quarter pure electric vehicle sales are likely to exceed Tesla, But the extended time does not mean that BYD can truly surpass Tesla.

Lin Dawei believes that the EU's recent anti -subsidy survey on Chinese electric vehicles may be one of BYD's future development of the biggest challenge.
Yu Hong said that the potential impact of the evaluation of anti -subsidy surveys is still too early. As far as BYD's current focus on the Southeast Asian market, the impact is limited.
