BYD, a Tesla rival, cut prices on 22 models, including the Seagull EV, in China's competitive EV market.
Shares in Chinese EV makers like BYD, Geely, Great Wall Motors, Xpeng, Nio, and Li Auto fell due to concerns about the increased competition.
The price war in China's EV market, initiated by Tesla last year, is leading to unsustainable losses for many companies as they fiercely compete for market share.
Despite price cuts, BYD's sales have been booming this year, surpassing Tesla in Europe, and the company is set to sell over 5 million cars in 2021.
