BYD Extends German Car Sales Lead Over Tesla With 1,000% Surge

BYD Co.’s German sales surged more than ten-fold last month as the Chinese automaker continues to expand in Europe’s largest electric-vehicle market.

The maker of the Dolphin hatchback sold 2,629 new cars in the country in January, according to figures the Federal Motor Transport Authority released Wednesday. That’s up from just 235 vehicles a year earlier and more than twice as many as Tesla Inc.’s 1,301 registrations.
