Europe BEV Penetration Rises to 30.5%, BYD Plans Three Vehicle and One Battery Plant in Europe
In August, BEV registrations in 16 core European markets reached 202,833 units, up 54.2% year on year, with a 30.5% share; cumulative registrations in the first eight months exceeded 1.67 million units, up 33.1% year on year. BYD has made clear that in the long term it needs to build three vehicle plants and one battery plant in Europe, is starting its Hungarian plant and plans to finalize a second site by the end of the year, preferring acquisition and conversion, with Spain and France as priorities. Leapmotor is pre-producing the B10 at Stellantis's Spanish plant and has pushed down to 19,900 euros with the B03X, as Chinese automakers advance localized production while jockeying over tariff rules in parallel.
