BYD August BEV sales to exceed 130,000?
Resolution criteria
Resolves YES if BYD Company Limited’s officially reported passenger BEV sales for August 2025 are strictly greater than 130,000 units in its “Voluntary Announcement – Production and Sales Volume for August 2025” on HKEX (stock code: 01211). If multiple official filings exist, use the latest dated for August 2025; if one is a correction, use the corrected figure. “Exceed” means >130,000. PHEVs and commercial vehicles are excluded; consolidated group brands (e.g., BYD, Denza, Yangwang, Fangchengbao) are included if BYD consolidates them in that line item.

Background
BYD publishes monthly “Production and Sales Volume” updates that break out passenger BEVs vs PHEVs; August 2024 passenger BEV sales were 148,470, well above this market’s threshold. (cnevpost.com)
BYD’s mix has leaned toward PHEVs recently (e.g., in Q3 2024 BYD reported ~39% BEV vs ~61% PHEV within passenger NEVs), which can affect month-to-month BEV totals. (cnevpost.com)
Considerations
Use the exact line labeled “passenger BEVs” (pure electric passenger vehicles). If BYD changes label terminology, use the most directly comparable BEV passenger-vehicle figure and exclude commercial NEVs. HKEX filing prevails over secondary media summaries. (www1.hkexnews.hk)
