Chinese automaker BYD is projected to surpass Tesla in annual electric vehicle sales for 2025, based on sales data through November. BYD had sold 2.07 million EVs by the end of November, while Tesla sold 1.22 million by the end of September. Analysts predict Tesla's fourth-quarter sales will decline, potentially leading to a year-end total below BYD's figures. Factors contributing to Tesla's projected dip include the expiration of US tax credits and increased competition.
