The world’s largest electric vehicle maker is becoming a force in the global auto market. BYD confirmed it’s on track to open another massive EV plant overseas by the end of 2025. The new facility in Indonesia will be able to produce 150,000 vehicles a year as BYD expands its overseas manufacturing footprint.

After selling a record over 4.27 million new energy vehicles (NEVs) last year, BYD is turning up the pressure in 2025.

Tesla topped BYD by about 25,000 units last year for the global EV sales crown. However, in terms of production, China’s leader sneaked past Tesla by about 4,500 vehicles to claim the title of “World’s largest EV maker” for 2024.

As a new wave of homegrown EVs arrives in China, BYD is focusing on overseas markets to drive growth in 2025.

After opening its first EV plant in Thailand last year, BYD confirmed another overseas manufacturing facility is on track to open by the end of the year. In a new interview , Eagles Zhao, BYD’s president director in Indonesia, said the company is aiming to finish the $1 billion manufacturing plant in the region by the end of 2025.

“Every single progression of our local manufacturing is quite smooth and also on the track. We will keep our commitment, which is by end-2025,” Zhao said.
