Tesla Rival BYD Eyes Spain for Next EV Factory as European Sales Soar

Tesla Rival BYD Eyes Spain for Next EV Factory as European Sales Soar

BYD has rapidly become a global electric vehicle powerhouse, and its next big move could be building a factory in Spain. Reuters reports that BYD – China’s #1 automaker by sales – views Spain as the “top candidate” for its third European car plant, as the company seeks to expand its foothold on the continent Reuters. The new plant would follow BYD’s first two European production sites: one under construction in Hungary and another planned in Türkiye slated to open in 2026 Reuters Reuters. Establishing a manufacturing hub in Spain would mark a major milestone in BYD’s European strategy, enabling it to build cars locally for EU customers rather than exporting from China. Spain has emerged as BYD’s preferred choice after a months-long site search. Insiders say Spain’s combination of affordable manufacturing costs and plentiful renewable energy is a big draw Reuters. BYD can benefit from Spain’s extensive solar and wind power infrastructure to run a green factory, aligning with the company’s image as a clean-energy champion.
