Warren Buffett-Backed BYD's Pure EV Sales Drop To Lowest In Five Months In July While Hybrid Vehicle Sales Surge 67%
Chinese EV giant BYD Co Ltd (OTC:BYDDY) (OTC:BYDDF) said on Thursday that the company sold 340,799 new energy passenger vehicles, marking a jump of nearly 31% from last year, despite a drop in battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales.
中国电动汽车巨头比亚迪公司（OTC:BYDDY）表示，公司已售出340,799辆新能源乘用车，同比去年增长近31%，尽管纯电动汽车（BEV）销量下降。
What Happened: Pure EV sales of the Chinese player fell to 130,000 units in July, marking a nearly 4% dip from the corresponding month of last year, and raising concerns about dwindling EV demand. This is the lowest EV sales recorded by the company in five months since February when the company sold just 54,908 BEV passenger vehicles.
发生了什么：这家中国企业的纯电动汽车销量在7月份降至130,000辆，同比去年对应月份下降近4%，引发了市场对电动汽车需求的担忧。这是公司自2月份（当时公司仅售出54,908辆BEV乘用车）以来五个月销量最低的一次。
The fall in BEV sales during the month, however, was offset by a 67% year-on-year rise in plug-in hybrid vehicle sales.
然而，月度BEV销量下降的情况，被插电混动汽车销量同比上涨67%所抵消。
BYD, backed by Warren Buffett-led Berkshire Hathaway, is the biggest rival to American EV giant Tesla Inc. The company took over Tesla as the world's largest BEV seller in the fourth quarter of 2023. However, Tesla took back the crown in the first quarter of 2024 and has been holding on to it since.
由华伦・巴菲特领导的伯克希尔・哈撒韦公司支持的比亚迪集团是美国电动汽车大型企业特斯拉公司最大的竞争对手。该公司在2023年第四季度超过了特斯拉成为世界上最大的BEV销售者。然而，特斯拉在2024年第一季度重新夺回了皇冠，并一直占据着这一头衔。
Competition In EV Sales: U.S.-listed Chinese EV startups Nio Inc, Li Auto, and XPeng also reported their July delivery numbers on Thursday with Li Auto topping among the three by a significant margin.
电动汽车销售竞争：在周四，美国上市的中国电动汽车初创公司蔚来汽车（Nio Inc）、理想汽车（Li Auto）和小鹏汽车（XPeng）也公布了它们的7月份交付数字，其中理想汽车在三家公司中表现最好。
Li Auto said on Thursday that it delivered a record 51,000 vehicles in July, marking a 49.4% jump year-over-year.
理想汽车在周四表示，该公司在7月份交付了创纪录的51,000辆汽车，同比增长49.4%。
XPeng also witnessed its deliveries rise in July but couldn't keep up with Li Auto's pace. The company delivered 11,145 vehicles last month, marking an increase of 1% year-over-year.
小鹏汽车在7月份交付量也有所增长，但未能跟上理想汽车的步伐。该公司上个月交付了11,145辆车，同比增长1%。
Shanghai-based Nio, meanwhile, delivered 20,498 vehicles in July, including 11,964 SUVs and 8,534 sedans. This marks a meager 0.2% rise from its sales in July 2023.
位于上海的蔚来汽车在7月份交付了20,498辆汽车，包括11,964辆SUV和8,534辆轿车。这比其销售量同比增长了0.2%。
Geely's luxury EV brand Zeekr Intelligent Technology Holding Limited (NYSE:ZK), meanwhile, saw EV deliveries rise 30% year-over-year to 15,655 units in July.
