China: BYD Doubles Plug-In Sales Achieving The Best April Ever

BYD Han sales declined compared to March though.

In April, BYD sold about 25,034 plug-in electric cars, which is not only 104% more than a year ago, but more than in 2019, which makes it the best result for the month of April ever.

BYD sales surges since the BYD Han model has joined the lineup in volume and the company has started to add new Blade Battery-powered models almost monthly.
