Chinese manufacturer BYD has announced that it has achieved the production milestone of five million new energy vehicles (NEVs) – defined as plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles – this week, and the milestone unit is a Denza N7.
Unveiled in March this year, the N7 is an EV in fastback form, and the N7 was announced to be offered as both a plug-in hybrid and as a fully electric vehicle. In its most powerful form, the N7 will achieve a 0-100 km/h sprint time of three seconds.
BYD had sold its three miilionth NEV last November, that car being the Seal EV. This week, nine months on, BYD arrived at its latest NEV production milestone.
The manufacturer appears happy to share in the celebration of its production achievement with its fellow Chinese automobile manufacturers, as it has released a commemorative video paying tribute to the various milestones achieved by other Chinese makes such as FAW, Dongfeng, Changan, SAIC, GAC, Chery, Geely, Great Wall, XPeng, Nio, and Hongqi.
Founded in 1995 as a battery company, BYD began with the production of NiMH batteries, followed by the founding of BYD Auto in 2003. It introduced its first new energy vehicle in 2008, and 13 years on in 2021 it arrived at its first million in units. The next milestone of three million NEVs took 18 months after that, and then nine months to arrive at the five-million NEV milestone.
BYD produced this short film to commemorate the production of their 5 millionth new energy vehicle. In the short film, they include various renowned Chinese automobile manufacturers and pay tribute to the Chinese automotive industry.$NIO $LI $XPEV #BYD pic.twitter.com/QnvIJOxm6Z

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Claimed their battery is the safest because their started as a battery manufacturer. Even demo how their battery not catching fire when punching hole in it but cannot explain why there are so many of their cars catching fire in China.
Can you show me where they catch on fire?? I bet your source is from fake news channel. There are thousands of BYD on our roads already for quite a while. How come no fire in Malaysia inspite of our blazing how weather?? No logic la. NZ, Australia, Thailand etc also no fire but only in China that BYD got fire? hahahaha. Your IQ is too low.
Perfectly in line with chingchong philosophy of “Quantity, not quality (nor safety)”
China numba one
Very impressive milestone. Respect to BYD. We only see their success now but I am sure like all successfull people/company, they went through super hard times without giving up

Please read my name and know where you stand before trying to put others down. I bet your type is not that smart @stick
BYD has reliability issues in China. Their cars are said to be problematic. Sales are falling.
@syd looks desperatly eager to spread fake news about BYD. There are so many BYD on the roads in Malaysia, Australia, NZ etc and none has issue. How come only in China? Fake news la. Under our extreme blazing heat also no problem means BYD can survive in any weather without problem. You look like a jealous kid bro.
Not only are sales falling. They’re falsifying sales figures. Dealerships will pre-register the stock of cars that come in, thus they are logged as being sold, and then these cars are sold at a steep discount as “showroom units” or “demo units”, most of which are not taken up but instead parked in large open-space “parking lots” which are basically mass dumping grounds for unsold cars.
