Basically a Chevy bolt for $11,000 (top trim).
200% tariffs won’t protect Chevrolet.
BYD is effectively banned in the US, along with all other Chinese vehicles.
Not surprised. American vehicle company will be bankrupt. Rented BYD in Asia, its quite luxurious tbh. They thought of lot of little things to make it comfy and better than even Tesla.
Chinese brands are dominating the Australian EV market. BYD has a multiple compelling options, MG with their MG4.
If my car was written off tomorrow I'd be test driving a BYD.
I'm not even aware of any American EV here despite a recently strong presence in the yank tank market (eg Ford ranger).
If a Ranger counts as a "Yank Tank", the monster trucks I see everywhere in Indiana would disgust you...
