China's electric vehicle boom is becoming increasingly focused on hybrids

Hybrid-powered vehicles are becoming more popular than battery-only ones in China, according to latest full-year reports, even as consumers move away from fossil-fuel-only cars.

Market leader BYD reported that well over half of the 4.3 million passenger cars it sold in 2024 were hybrid-powered, marking a significant reversal from 2023.

Chinese electric car start-ups that have exclusively sold battery-powered vehicles generally delivered fewer cars in 2024 compared companies that also offered hybrid models.
