Electric cars: Dealership marks 500 sales milestone

Local drivers are continuing to embrace electric mobility, as BYD Crewe celebrates reaching 500 vehicle sales since opening its doors back in May 2024.

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, accounting for over half of their sales.

Customers have been drawn to its spacious interior, impressive electric range with over 300 miles and everyday practicality, making it a strong choice for families and commuters.

While many buyers have come from Crewe and surrounding areas, BYD Crewe 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.

David Smyth, Director at Swansway Motor Group, said: “We’re proud to see BYD Crewe reach 500 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.”

Located on Beswick Drive in Crewe, the site continues to build momentum, with the milestone marking an important step in the dealership’s growth and its role in supporting the region’s transition to electric vehicles.
