Last month, the BYD Atto 3 electric SUV outsold the Tesla Model Y in Sweden.
In the first half of this year, the Tesla Model Y was Europe's best-selling automobile overall.
However, competition from Chinese automakers is already showing its teeth.
In July, a Chinese EV outsold the Tesla Model Y in a developed European EV market.
Last month, the BYD Atto 3 – known as the BYD Yuan Plus in China and other markets – was the best-selling electric vehicle in Sweden.
In the Scandinavian country, BYD sold 721 units of its tiny electric crossover, more than double the number of Tesla Model Y EVs (359 units).
