I'm a European with an Audi car, been looking at switching to EV and I can't lie and say BYD doesn't look like more value for the money than the Audi alternatives, so doesn't really surprise me.

And that's despite the EU tariffs on Chinese manufacturers.

  • Well, in my country I can get up to 7K EUR back if I purchase a EV before the money runs out, not sure tariffs end up having any impact.

  • Then again, Chinese car companies are price dumping on purpose to kill the competition.

    • Chinese cars are a lot more expensive outside of China than they are inside of China. And the difference is not just tariffs and shipping; they earn a lot more profit per car for exported cars than ones sold internally.

      IOW, they're not dumping, they're doing the opposite. I don't know why.
