Those cars are priced for the budgets of domestic Chinese consumers. BYD exports to Europe are priced similarly to car models sold there. For the same reason, this Slate truck is very unlikely to cost just $20k when it reaches the mass production stage.

There’s a 27% tariff on BYD cars in Europe, designed to bring the price more in line with European manufacturers.
