BYD, China’s largest EV maker, registered 3,255 new vehicles in September, more than twenty times its sales from a year earlier. BYD has sold 11,810 cars in Germany since January, narrowing the gap with Tesla’s year-to-date total.

    Also note that some registrations are done by car dealers, so the number of new cars registered is not the same as the number of cars bought by people, and these will not be bought at the nominal price.
