> Ford actually makes vehicles in Europe. Does BYD?

Not yet. They are in the process of opening a factory in Hungary. The production line equipment arrived in December, with trial production scheduled for Q1 2026, and mass production in Q2, with capacity ramping up over two years.

They are also doing a factory in Turkey.

Their plan is for all of the EVs they sell in Europe to be made in the EU by 2028.

They aren't the only Chinese car maker interested in producing in Europe. Chery is building a big plant in Spain. Geely is looking at options in Poland or Hungary but hasn't decided on a site yet. SAIC is planning to make cars in Hungary.
