BYD and Chery led a doubling of Chinese electric-vehicle deliveries in April. Chinese brands accounted for more than 15% of Europe’s electric-vehicle sales in April, the first time that level was reached in a single month. Fully electric sales from manufacturers including BYD and Chery more than doubled year-on-year to 38,281 units. Across the wider European market, Chinese brands are closing in on 10%. Plug-in hybrid gains are even faster, with Chinese brands taking close to 30% of European PHEV sales, up from near absence two years earlier. BYD and Chery model lines have driven much of the increase, and UK buyers have moved quickly to new arrivals such as Jaecoo, which launched in 2025 and sold strongly with PHEV variants.
"Jaecoo offers the clearest illustration of how quickly British buyers, in particular, have moved. The Jaecoo 7 was the UK's best-selling new car in March, with 10,064 registrations, beating its closest competitor by 70 per cent. The brand only launched in the UK in 2025. Plug-in hybrid variants accounted for 85 per cent of those March sales."
