Summary
- Volkswagen beat Tesla in European EV sales across the first three months of 2025, data shows.
- Registrations for VW EVs are up more than 150%, while Tesla lost huge ground.
- However, the Model Y and Model 3 remain Europe’s top two most-registered EVs.
So all BYD has to do is the absolute minimum to make a BEV into a hybrid. So like, a model aircraft engine and a bike dynamo? It doesn’t have to charge the batteries well. And you can put it on a module that can be easily removed. Maybe sell the car with a little display case for the removed module, just to be extra cheeky.
I think EU needs to recognize it as a hybrid, so no.
That seems arbitrary.
I bet it’s not, and that there are clear regulations for it.
That’s the way things usually are with such classifications.
Especially for something that for years had a significant TAX credit.
Yeah, that’s why I suspected it was easy to game.
EU is neither as corrupt nor as incompetent as you seem to think.
Maybe you are thinking about USA?
