It’s not really fair to be comparing Chinese domestic market EVs to US market EVs on price and range alone.
We can compare price and range alone among US market vehicles because they all meet relatively high standards of quality, performance, and regulatory compliance.
Developing nations have buyers and regulators willing to accept lower standards in exchange for accessibility, but the US market doesn’t.
BYD isn’t absent from the US market for any reason other than that they have chosen not to, because they’ve determined they wouldn’t be able to compete in that market.
