After the Chinese government significantly limited New Energy Vehicle incentives, BYD's plug-in electric car sales started to erode and decrease more every month.

It was down 12% in July, down 23% in August, down 48% in September and now down 54% in October!

Only 12,042 sales of a total of 13 models is barely better than the result in 2017, when the company was selling just seven models.

After ten months of 2019, BYD sold almost 198,000 plug-in electric cars in China - still 22.6% more than in 2018, but the advantage might not last for the peak months of November and December.
