BYD Expects Record Quarter Profits

The world’s largest electric vehicle manufacturer BYD expects third-quarter profit of 5.5-5.9 billion yuan ($760-814 million), which will be a record for the company. Compared to last year, this figure will grow by 333-365%, according to a preliminary report from the automaker.

Despite adverse factors such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, extremely high temperatures, difficult economic conditions and high raw material prices, demand for electric vehicles remains strong, and the company’s sales have reached a record high, BYD notes. According to preliminary data, BYD managed to sell more than 537,000 electric and hybrid vehicles this quarter, up 197% from last year.
