#BYD überholt bei der Zahl der verkauften #EAutos im Jahr 2025 #Tesla offenbar deutlich. Deutsche Autohersteller sind relativ weit abgeschlagen. Bei solchen Zahlen habe ich zwei Fragen:
Warum ist Tesla zehnmal so hoch bewertet wie BYD?
Und: Ist es klug, in Deutschland weiterhin stark auf Verbrenner zu setzen?
