It\u2019s become a cliche for fast-growing EV makers to be labelled \u2018the Chinese Tesla\u2019, but the figures show that this is more than empty words. So if a company really can be called the Chinese Tesla, which one should it be?<\/p>\n<p>The first candidate, BYD, will be no stranger to readers of CAR. Its sales in the first half of 2025 totalled 2.14 million (of which 1.02m were EVs). In the first quarter of 2025, its profits were equivalent to \u00a31.1 billion.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/241799\/480x0\/chinese_tesla_3.jpg?scale=down\" alt=\"EV charge parking spaces in China\" class=\"wp-image-241805\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/241799\/480x0\/chinese_tesla_3.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/241799\/720x0\/chinese_tesla_3.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/241799\/1040x0\/chinese_tesla_3.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>If Tesla is the global EV alpha male \u2013 all outspoken arrogance \u2013 then BYD is its nerdish counterpart. Armed with their own batteries, the nerds overtook Tesla and became the biggest global maker of electric cars in the first half of 2025. CEO Wang Chuanfu and his team have cut costs and thus lowered prices, and it\u2019s working.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Tesla, BYD isn\u2019t trying to reinvent the car industry \u2013 just to dominate it. Tesla ripped up the rulebook on sales, software, charging networks and claims of autonomy. But as BYD grows in confidence, however, that innovation is coming.<\/p>\n<p>Is it the new Tesla? Four out of five. In terms of measurable success, yes. But it\u2019s not even trying to follow the Musk.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If BYD has had Tesla rivalry reluctantly thrust upon it, Xpeng ate up Tesla\u2019s Silicon Valley playbook. CEO He Xiaopeng owned one of the first Teslas in China and set out in 2014 to establish a local equivalent with an emphasis on \u2018smart\u2019 EVs with semi-autonomous capability and vast screens delivering a cloud-hosted digital experience.<\/p>\n<p>How\u2019s that going? Good and bad. Xpeng hasn\u2019t turned a profit yet, but VW is so impressed that it bought an Xpeng platform to help boost its ailing performance in China. In the first half of 2025, Xpeng\u2019s sales \u2013 all EVs \u2013 came to 197,189.<\/p>\n<p>Xpeng\u2019s own Model Y, the G6, got a muted reception in the UK, but the company has actually done what Tesla baulked at and launched a lower cost model in the Mona 03 saloon that\u2019s tearing up the charts in China. The company is diverging from Musk\u2019s two-model mission to satisfy a tricky Chinese market. Now comes the tricky bit: impressing the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Is it the new Tesla? Four out of five. It\u2019s a proper Tesla rival waiting for the world to take notice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s not that long ago that Nio was going to be THE global rival to Tesla. With a glitzy launch in 2016, the company had the backing and the vision, and in Bin Li the inspiring CEO to make it happen. It even had the killer tech in the battery-swapping mechanism that Tesla originally promised, but backed away from.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But despite nailing the swapping tech with 3408 stations (mostly in China), Nio still hasn\u2019t sold a million cars after almost 10 years, and doesn\u2019t make a profit.<\/p>\n<p>That could change with the cheaper Onvo brand and with the Firefly small hatchback. But the electric competition is now frighteningly good in China, its only serious market; Nio sold 114,150 in the first half of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The stock price has bumped slowly downwards from its stellar high in 2020 in the opposite direction to Tesla\u2019s, which is now propelled by something mystical and far removed from market realities.<\/p>\n<p>Is it the new Tesla? Two out of five. Nio assembled the A-team to challenge Tesla domination but the results have been C-grade at best.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/241799\/480x0\/chinese_tesla_2.jpg?scale=down\" alt=\"cars ready to be shipped\" class=\"wp-image-241804\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/241799\/480x0\/chinese_tesla_2.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/241799\/720x0\/chinese_tesla_2.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/241799\/1040x0\/chinese_tesla_2.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Leapmotor was started in 2015 because founder Jiangming Zhu saw cars as a rolling platform for his beloved electronics. The C10 and B10 SUVs are, like Teslas, cars that are \u2018software-defined\u2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Leapmotor has yet to profit from this cleverness but the cars are gaining traction, with sales doubling in the first half, helped by Stellantis spotting an opportunity and setting up a European sales network. Plug-in hybrid alternatives are helping. To the end of June, total sales for 2025 came to 221,664.<\/p>\n<p>Like all Chinese \u2018smart\u2019 EV companies, Leapmotor is touting its own version of Tesla\u2019s \u2018FSD\u2019 semi-autonomy but with the back-up lidar sensor that Tesla pooh-poohs. Reworking all that cleverness into something Europeans find palatable enough to pay extra for will take, we suspect, longer to achieve. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Is it the new Tesla? Three out of five. All the pieces are there, but making them Tesla shaped will take some work.<\/p>\n<p>Arguably Tesla\u2019s biggest competitive edge was its cultish momentum, largely derived from Musk\u2019s bombastic claims and the loyal echoes from the stockholding faithful. If that\u2019s the metric to beat then Xiaomi is the most fearsome rival yet.<\/p>\n<p>Adding electric cars to the company\u2019s smart appliances in 2024 was a perfectly timed move from founder Lei Jun, and the guy is now treated as a rock star. Profits for the first quarter of 2025, including smart appliances, came to \u00a31.36bn.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Designed with a knowing wink in the direction of the Porsche Taycan, the SU7 has been a hit in China and accounted for all Xiaomi\u2019s 152,657 sales in first six months. Add the YU7 SUV (with its whiff of Ferrari Purosangue) and the company is primed to tear past Tesla\u2019s falling Chinese sales (264,498 in the first six months).<\/p>\n<p>Even a slew of dashcam videos showing the SU7\u2019s unfortunate inability to avoid crashing hasn\u2019t tempered the buzz. The 690bhp version of the YU7 can nail 0-62mph in 3.2sec, for the equivalent of just \u00a333,500.<\/p>\n<p>Xiaomi\u2019s highest profile fan in the automotive world is Ford CEO Jim Farley, who has heaped praise on the SU7. The stage is set but winning over a global crowd won\u2019t be easy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Is it the new Tesla?
