BYD Sparks EV Price Battle in European Small CarsBYD and Chinese EVs grew their European market share from 2.9% to 4.8% between early 2024 and April 2025.
- BYD launched the affordable Dolphin Surf EV in the UK, intensifying competition in Europe’s compact electric car market.
- EU tariffs keep Chinese EV prices higher than in China, yet BYD’s presence in Europe is expanding rapidly.
- Western automakers plan cheaper battery use and leverage Chinese expertise to introduce competitive small EVs by next year.
- Advanced Chinese EV technologies, including ultra-fast charging, are expected to attract buyers despite tariff-driven price limits.
Increasing levels of competition and some new standout performers now seen in our market will likely create wider pricing pressures that will be good for car buyers in the short term and which will hopefully also fuel further innovation and market growth in the midterm.— Ian Plummer, commercial director at Auto Trader, commented on the competition in the automotive market.

EVs Prove Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective Long-TermA Fraunhofer study reveals EVs reduce CO2 emissions by up to 50% over time and can be cheaper than gasoline cars within three years.
- Researchers evaluated over 70 studies and concluded electric vehicles offer superior environmental benefits despite higher emissions in manufacturing.
- Production-related greenhouse gases are 60 to 130 percent greater for EVs, but driving them results in 40 to 50 percent less CO2 output.
- With access to charging, EVs often become more economical than combustion cars after three years due to lower energy and maintenance expenses.
- EVs do not pose increased fire risks compared to traditional vehicles but generate more fine dust from tire wear because of their heavier weight.
Even today, an electric car can be cheaper than a combustion engine when you look at the total costs - not just the usually higher purchase price.— Martin Wietschel, study author at the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research.
