Quick Glance: Comparing Tesla and Its Chinese Rival

BYD surpassed Tesla in global electric vehicle sales in the last quarter of 2023, but they remain neck and neck.

Tesla is the world's most valuable car company with a market cap of $560 billion, while BYD ranks among the top 10 automakers.

BYD's competitive pricing has propelled its rise in the EV market, while Tesla, although cutting prices in China, remains more expensive than BYD.

Both companies are expanding beyond their home markets, with Tesla in China and BYD in the USA and abroad.

Quick Glance: New Global Record: Electric and Hybrid Car Sales Surge in 2024

Electric and plug-in hybrid car sales will reach a new global record in 2024 despite slowing growth in some markets, according to forecasts from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

The IEA predicted that 17 million battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles will be sold in 2024, up over 20% from 2023.

The IEA also mentioned that most electric cars are expected to be priced equivalently to petrol cars by 2030 as prices decrease. Tesla recently reduced prices to maintain its market share against strong competition from Chinese rivals like BYD, the world's largest battery electric car producer.
