BYD’s installed power and energy storage battery capacity in April was about 9.954 GWh, up 59.47 percent from 6.242 GWh in the same month last year and up 0.64 percent from 8.952 GWh in March.

From January to April, BYD’s NEV sales were 762,371 units, up 94.3 percent from 392,371 units in the same period last year.

BYD aims to sell at least 3 million vehicles this year and strives to reach 3.6 million, the company’s chairman and president Wang Chuanfu said at an investor conference in late March.

BYD aims to become China’s No. 1 automaker by the end of this year, Wang said at the time.

To achieve its goal of selling 3 million NEVs for the year, BYD would need to sell an average of about 280,000 vehicles each month for the next eight months.

As part of its efforts to reach that goal, BYD officially launched the Seagull on April 26 with a starting price of just RMB 73,800, a lower price that is expected to meet the needs of younger people and some families with second cars.
