It’s time again for various car companies to announce their second quarter results. Among them, BYD's 's production and sales surpassed 's Tesla for the first time, and topped the list of global new energy sales champions in the first half of the year.

In the first and second quarters of this year: BYD produced 285,938 and 358,783 plug-in and pure electric passenger cars respectively; sales were 284,737 and 353,420 plug-in and pure electric passenger cars. Tesla produced 305,407 and 258,580 pure electric passenger cars respectively; sales were 310,048 and 254,695.

In the second quarter, BYD's production and sales both beat Tesla by a margin of 100,000 units. What is the reason? Read on.

The epidemic situation and changes in the global economic and political situation have also affected the production of the automobile industry. According to reports, Tesla’s three global factories (Texas factory, Shanghai factory, and Berlin factory) all experienced various problems in the second quarter of this year. These problems caused Tesla to Only 258,580 electric vehicles were produced in the second quarter, a decrease of about 15% from the previous quarter, and production capacity fell behind the expected 350,000 vehicles.

Unlike Tesla, BYD produced 182,817 pure electric passenger cars from April to June, a month-on-month increase of more than 26%. You know, BYD Auto has nine major production bases in China (Xi'an, Shanghai, Beijing, Shangluo, Huizhou, Shaoguan, Changsha, Ningbo, Shenzhen). The huge production layout plus domestic The recovery of the economy and the epidemic will greatly promote BYD Auto's production increase and capacity expansion.

It is worth noting that the above-mentioned 182,817 vehicles are only the number of pure electric vehicles produced by BYD, and do not include plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles. If plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles are added, BYD’s electric vehicle production and sales in the current quarter Both surpassed Tesla, with sales exceeding Tesla for the first time in this quarter.

According to statistics, in the first half of 2022, Tesla produced a total of 563,987 electric vehicles and sold a total of 564,743 vehicles; BYD produced a total of 644,721 electric vehicles (including plug-in and pure electric passenger vehicles) and sold a total of 638,157 vehicles. , comparing the two, in the first half of the year, BYD's output and sales still far exceeded Tesla.

Tesla, as a foreign-funded enterprise, has a supply and production system with global factories and global supply. Compared with BYD, which produces local products, it is more susceptible to interference from external factors and limited production capacity. BYD's advantage lies in the domestic industrial development environment. It is relatively good, has few external interference factors, and has natural advantages in terms of government policies, geographical location, labor costs, etc. It is not difficult to understand the problem of its production expansion.

In terms of sales, China is the largest sales market in the world. BYD relies on its complete product matrix and strong product strength (rich product matrix, including Dynasty series, Ocean series, traditional series models; reliable power combination, including DM-i super Hybrid system; leading core technology, including high thermal efficiency SnapCloud plug-in hybrid engine, blade battery ), it has gained a large number of users in China, and it is not surprising to achieve such good sales results.

So far, BYD Auto has not only continued to consolidate its leading position in the domestic new energy vehicle field, but also surpassed Tesla in production/sales in the first half of the year, winning the global new energy vehicle sales championship in the first half of 2022.
