Article cover: BYD celebrates 15 million cars: what it means for Poland's e-mobility market

Eighteen months ago, BYD was building its first 10 million cars. Now the figure stands at 15 million — in under 13 months. The world has gone electric, and BYD is leading the charge.

Polish prices — not that scary?

BYD is already making its mark in Poland. The Song Plus 2025 costs around 118,900 PLN. The Seal 7 is around 108,100 PLN. The Atto 2 sits at 135,900 PLN. In the premium segment: SeaLion 7 Comfort — 229,600 PLN, Excellence — 273,000 PLN. Tang 108 kWh — 295,500 PLN. SeaLion spans 229,000–273,000 PLN, Han EV is around 150,400 PLN, and Shark 6 reaches 164,400 PLN. Prices come from Polish importer data.

The table above compares selected BYD models by price, range, power and acceleration. The lineup is broad and tailored to different customer needs.

BYD takes Tesla's crown — who'd have thought?

2025 belonged to BYD, not Tesla. EV sales (excluding hybrids) grew 28%. Tesla delivered around 1.64 million vehicles, while BYD reached 2.26 million. BYD's sales outside China grew by 150%.

'God's Eye' technology and megawatt charging

The Denza N8L features the 'God's Eye' DiPilot 300 system, three motors, 762 HP, and 0–100 km/h in 3.9 s. A 46.992 kWh battery delivers 170 km of electric range and 6.95 l/100 km once depleted. BYD stations in Europe will host megawatt chargers up to 1,000 kW, adding 400 km of range in 5 minutes.

Denza Z9GT and expansion across European showrooms

The Denza Z9GT is slated for Europe by the end of 2025, priced above 72,000 €. European factories in Hungary and Turkey are also planned. The dealer network is set to double, exceeding 2,000 outlets after 2026.

Polish market and competition

Leapmotor ended T03 assembly in Tychy in March 2025. BYD, with more than 70 outlets, plans to grow to at least 100 by year-end. SeaLion offers up to 502 km of range at 229,000–273,000 PLN, while the Tang approaches 300,000 PLN for an SUV with over 500 km of range.

BYD's numbers speak for themselves: 15 million vehicles, rising sales, and an impressive technology stack. In Poland, prices are realistic, the lineup is strong, and the competition is still catching up.

Polish context

In 2022, Poland registered over 40,000 EVs — a 40% year-on-year increase. Around 3,200 public chargers operate nationwide. The government supports the market with purchase subsidies, and further infrastructure investments are planned for 2023.

Volkswagen ID. Polo in Poland: an electric return to the ordinary

Volkswagen ID. Polo in Poland: an electric return to the ordinary

From 2026, the Volkswagen ID. Polo is meant to be an electric hatchback for "ordinary people" — with a 2600 mm wheelbase, up to 450 km of range, and a price below PLN 100,000 after subsidies. We examine what that promise really means, how the ID. Polo compares with the Renault 5 E-Tech, Peugeot e-208 and other rivals, and whether the "cheap" version will actually reach Polish showrooms.
