Chinese automaker BYD is selling plugin hybrids en masse in Germany, achieving over 10% market share each month since April 2026. BYD's success is attributed to low prices, high discounts, and the state electric vehicle subsidy in Germany. Industry expert Ferdinand Dudenhöffer describes this as an 'export wave' of Chinese cars. Federal Environment Minister Carsten Schneider has called for tariffs on plug-in hybrids from Chinese manufacturers to create a level playing field with China in electric mobility.
