EV sales still have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Media is lying to you.

I've only seen news about one very specific EV maker losing sales.

Why would they do that?

And why can’t we buy BYD in the US?

I think it’s the same answer…

Significant changes are currently taking place around the world. Here are ten that should be noted. Source

1. Around the globe, nothing is being expanded as massively in terms of electricity as renewable energies, i.e., power from the sun and wind, as well as battery storage. Approximately twice as much investment is flowing into so-called electrotechnology as into fossil fuels. 92.5 percent of the newly built capacity for power generation worldwide in 2024 was renewable. In 2023, it was 86 percent, and in 2022, it was already 83 percent.
2. In the first half of 2025, China has expanded its renewable energy supply by twice as much as the rest of the world combined.
3. Since at least 2024, China has earned dozens of billions of dollars more from the export of electrotechnology than the USA, the world's largest fossil fuel exporter, earns from the export of oil and gas. The gap is growing. 70 percent (wind) to 90 percent (solar, batteries) of the global production capacity for electrotechnology is located in China.
4. In the USA, the Trump administration is actively and aggressively combating renewable energies in line with the "Project 2025," which is largely funded and shaped by the oil industry. As a result, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has reduced its growth forecast for renewable energies in the USA by almost 50 percent.
5. For the world as a whole, however, the IEA predicts a doubling of renewable capacity by 2030, which would be roughly equivalent to the combined current installed total capacity for power generation (across all energy sources) in China, the EU, and Japan. It should be noted that the IEA is notorious for repeatedly and significantly underestimating the growth of renewable energies. This global development is a direct, causal consequence of German regulation, as crazy as it sounds: We initiated this trend with the Renewable Energy Act. If we act wisely, Germany will change the world for the better. If not, it will still change the world, but in a different way.
6. In China and India, CO₂ emissions from power generation are now decreasing, which is sensational good news. This is due to renewable energies.
7. Global electricity consumption continues to grow rapidly, partly due to artificial intelligence and data centers, but also due to the rapid growth of electrification in general.
8. Fortunately, the rapid growth in consumption is fully offset, and even surpassed, by the even faster growth of renewable energies: Worldwide, in the first half of 2025, approximately 369 terawatt-hours more were consumed than in the previous year's period, but also 403 terawatt-hours additionally generated from the sun and wind. In the first half of 2025, renewable energies have surpassed coal as the most important energy source for electricity worldwide.
9. The market for internal combustion engines has been shrinking since 2017. Just as only renewables and storage are growing in power generation, only the electric motor is growing in mobility, and that continues to accelerate. This is called disruption: A superior, easier-to-produce, and ultimately cheaper product displaces the old, expensive competition. That's how market economy works.
10. Among the top 20 best-selling electric cars worldwide from January to August 2025, there are two Tesla models (in first and third place), 17 Chinese cars, including nine from BYD alone—and a single German electric car (the ID.4 from VW in 18th place).

Media always lies to you, kids.
