BYD, the global leader in new energy vehicles, is delighted to confirm a number of significant Australian milestones – including new monthly and yearly sales records and reaching number 5 in Australia in record time.
In June, BYD delivered 8,156 vehicles — a 368% increase from the 1,743 vehicles delivered in June last year. The brand recorded an almost 70% increase on its previous monthly record of 4,811 vehicles, set in March this year, and achieved a 6.7% market share.
The incredible interest from Australian customers means BYD has already eclipsed the 20,458 vehicles sold in all of 2024, in just six verified months of 2025.
A hugely popular addition to the BYD range after its launch in October last year, the BYD SHARK 6 also surpassed 10,000 in total sales.
June also marked the final month of EVDirect’s role as BYD’s local distributor. Under the visionary leadership of Luke Todd, EVDirect played a significant role in launching BYD passenger vehicles and expediting BYD’s growth in the Australian market, rapidly building the brand and laying a strong foundation.
“With each month, you can see just how popular BYD vehicles are becoming in Australia because you can see them on our roads,” BYD Australia COO Stephen Collins said.
“As we continue the transition to a fully-factory backed operation, we commend the foundation laid by our distribution partners as we strive to ensure this strong growth continues.”
“We set out to bring affordable, world-class EVs to Australians and grow the BYD brand as fast as possible,” EVDirect CEO Luke Todd said. “What we’ve achieved in just a few short years is remarkable, and now, as we hand over to BYD directly, we’re confident the momentum will only accelerate from here.”
