The released sales data shows new energy vehicles (NEVs), Chinese terms for fully electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs). Specifically, it also includes FCEVs (hydrogen), but those sales are virtually non-existent in China, and BYD does not sell FCEVs. BYD stopped selling fully ICE cars in April 2022.
