Part 5/10:
In a noteworthy shift within the Japanese automotive market, BYD has officially outsold Toyota in electric vehicle (EV) sales. According to the Japan Automobile Dealers Association, BYD sold approximately 2,200 EVs in Japan, while Toyota sold just over 2,000, indicating a 30% decline for the latter. This victory for BYD positions the company strongly as it prepares to launch additional models, potentially maintaining its leading status over Toyota in the Japanese market amidst a backdrop of overall declining EV sales in the country.
