Shares of the Shenzhen-based company surged soon after market opening on Wednesday and closed the morning session with a 9.25-percent climb, hitting the 10-percent ceiling set by Chinese regulators several times.
On Wednesday, Beijing's Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology released a list of companies and products under a government program to encourage the use of new energy cars.
BYD's pure electric E6 appeared on the list, together with a model manufactured by BAIC Motor.
