BYD Celebrates 9 Millionth NEV with 2-Seater Electric Supercar

BYD has reached a significant milestone as its 9 millionth new energy vehicle (NEV) rolled off the production line, less than three months after hitting the 8 million mark. The historic achievement was celebrated at BYD’s Shenzhen plant, marking the company as the first Chinese automaker to accomplish this feat.

Byd Yangwang U9 Electric Supercar

It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.36 seconds, making it one of the fastest cars produced by a local automaker. In track tests, the U9 achieved a top speed of 375.12 km/h.
