BYD Co.’s overseas sales jumped 65% in March to 120,083 units, lifted by higher oil prices boosting EV demand, but total deliveries fell about 20%, extending a seven-month decline amid weak China momentum.

BYD is relying on exports to offset slowing domestic demand, though subsidy cuts and cautious consumers weigh on sales, with future growth tied to overseas plant expansion and global conditions.
