    Not even sure it’s that true though. Afaik BYD is only the 14th most popular car in Denmark, and European brands have risen from around ~28% last year to ~40% this year. Sure, Chinese carmakers have had some growth - but we’re talking in the order of something between 2 - 4% of the market. Might be more popular in other countrues

      I wonder where you’re getting this information. BYD alone is second worldwide if you account for the US market, and 1st if you don’t.

      59% of all EVs sold in January of this year were Chinese.

        Which owes to how gigantic the Chinese market is. They now have a 5% market share for new cars in Europe - which this article is about. It doesn’t matter if they top global sales just because there are so many Chinese buyers
