This data not only highlights BYD's leading position in the new energy vehicle market, but also provides strong support for its price reduction strategy.
In the context of the rapid increase in the penetration rate of new energy vehicles, the scale of the traditional fuel vehicle market is gradually shrinking. According to statistics, in the first quarter of 2023, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China has reached 30%, which means that for every 10 vehicles sold, 3 are new energy vehicles.

According to **, by 2025, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China is expected to reach more than 50%, which means that new energy vehicles will become the mainstream of the market.
