Chinese EV Tsunami Shakes German Auto Industry: BYD’s 30% Profit Crash and ‘Electrobomber’ Fears
BYD’s Q3 profit fell nearly 33% year-on-year to ¥7.8 billion, as revenue dropped 3% amid a price war in China. Despite shrinking domestic margins, BYD’s European new-car registrations in September 2025 jumped nearly fivefold, while Tesla’s fell 10.5%. Chinese automakers’ share of EU new-car sales nearly doubled to 4.8% in early 2025, pressuring German brands.
