It’s a brand name that promises greatness: „Build your dreams“ (BYD). The Chinese automaker has attracted a lot of attention in recent months because the brand is on the fast track economically. Two figures prove that very clearly. First, 300 percent. That is how much vehicle sales grew in the first half of 2022. Despite lockdown, chip shortages, and supply chain disruptions. The Chinese supplier sold over 641,000 vehicles, almost 80,000 more than the supposed best-in-class Tesla.
