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.
中國電動汽車巨頭比亞迪有限公司（場外交易代碼：BYDDY）（場外交易代碼：BYDDF）週四表示，儘管電池電動汽車（BEV）銷量下降，但該公司仍售出了340,799輛新能源乘用車，比去年增長了近31％。
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.
發生了什麼：這家中國公司的純電動汽車銷量在7月份降至13萬輛，比去年同期下降了近4％，這引發了人們對電動汽車需求減少的擔憂。這是該公司自2月份僅售出54,908輛純電動汽車乘用車以來五個月以來的最低電動汽車銷量。
The fall in BEV sales during the month, however, was offset by a 67% year-on-year rise in plug-in hybrid vehicle sales.
但是，本月電動汽車銷量的下降被插電式混合動力汽車銷量同比增長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.
比亞迪在禾倫·巴菲特領導的伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司的支持下，是美國電動汽車巨頭特斯拉公司的最大競爭對手。該公司在2023年第四季度接替特斯拉成爲全球最大的電動汽車銷售商。但是，特斯拉在2024年第一季度奪回了桂冠，此後一直保持着這一勢頭。
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.
電動汽車銷售競爭：在美國上市的中國電動汽車初創公司蔚來公司、理想汽車和小鵬汽車也在週四公佈了7月份的交付量，其中理想汽車以大幅優勢位居三強之列。
Li Auto said on Thursday that it delivered a record 51,000 vehicles in July, marking a 49.4% jump year-over-year.
理想汽車週四表示，7月份交付了創紀錄的51,000輛汽車，同比增長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.
小鵬汽車在7月份的交付量也有所增加，但跟不上Li Auto的步伐。該公司上個月交付了11,145輛汽車，同比增長了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.
同時，總部位於上海的蔚來在7月交付了20,498輛汽車，其中包括11,964輛越野車和8,534輛轎車。這標誌着其銷售額較2023年7月的銷售額微幅增長了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.
同時，吉利的豪華電動汽車品牌極致智能科技控股有限公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：ZK）的電動汽車交付量在7月份同比增長30％至15,655輛。
