German buyers are keen to purchase Chinese electric car brands due to rising fuel prices, Reuters reproted Thursday, citing online marketplace Carwow.
Purchase queries for BYD (HKG:1211, SHE:002594) saw the fastest surge at 135% during the first quarter, the report said.
Potential buyers showed most interest in BYD's electric-powered SUVs and the cheap Dolphin hatchback, the report said.
Aside from BYD, other Chinese car manufacturers such as SAIC Motor's (SHA:600104) MG are seen to benefit the most from higher pump prices due to the Iran war, according to Reuters, citing the platform.
