JAKARTA: China's BYD, the world's biggest seller of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), will launch its cars in Indonesia next week, the company said today.

BYD outpaced Tesla, selling over 3 million cars globally in 2023, 62% more than 2022, of which 1.57 million were pure electric vehicles (EV).

Tesla said it delivered 1.81 million EVs in the same period, an increase of 38% from a year ago.
