One of the countries they’re exporting to is Australia and they have already gobbled up a big share of EV sales where I live. Based on my personal observations I see almost as many BYD as Tesla cars, however I suspect that in the last 12 months they’ve outsold Tesla. They are the cheapest EV in Australia at the moment.

This kind of blows a hole in the old argument that only the rich people wanted EVs, which is why they focused on expensive models. Let's be honest, they knew they would cannibalize their cash cow and didn't want to. Once my girlfriend and I owned an EV there was no going back ever to gas engines.

im seeing BYD everywhere - and it feels like they just came out of nowhere.
