I suspect they know they are lying, but anti-EV articles get clicks. Look at this article from the Financial Times:

https://www.ft.com/content/1f18cf1f-8b28-446a-81d2-86555f52a...

Headline is:

> Tesla and BYD sales fall as concerns mount over electric shift

From the body:

> …from BYD as the world’s biggest seller of electric vehicles, after the Chinese company posted a 42 per cent fall in quarterly EV shipments to 300,114.

But they are talking about a drop from a record Q4 (normally the highest quarter) to a record Q1 (normally the lowest). Not apples to apples. Q1 this year is better than last year - sales are up. The graph even shows it.

Just straight up lies.
