Drivers across Stoke-on-Trent are continuing to embrace electric mobility, as BYD Stoke celebrates reaching 250 vehicle sales since opening its doors back in May 2025.

The milestone has been achieved steadily, reflecting growing confidence in electric vehicles locally and the dealership’s friendly, straightforward approach to helping customers make the switch.

Leading the way has been the BYD Seal U, which has proven to be the most popular model at the dealership. Customers have been drawn to its spacious interior, impressive electric range of over 300 miles, and everyday practicality, making it a strong choice for families and commuters alike.

While many buyers have come from Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding areas, BYD Stoke has also welcomed customers from further afield, all looking for expert guidance and a supportive, no-pressure buying experience as they move towards electric driving.

“We’re proud to see BYD Stoke reach 250 sales. It’s a fantastic achievement for the team and shows just how much interest there is locally in electric vehicles when customers feel supported and informed. The popularity of the Seal U is a great example of how BYD’s range is meeting real world needs.”
