Watching this yesterday (from Brazil) and I thought to myself "how the hell is BYD gonna sell electric cars in Brazil? we dont even have charging stations."
Lo and behold, I just came across a news article saying that just today BYD announced the construction of a charging station just a couple of miles from my home

Here in Brazil BYD is dominating! The Dolphin is everywhere, being priced cheaper than many SUVs available on the market. There are reports of people using them at Uber with almost 100.000 kilometers without problems. GWM is also growing up over here, and Volkswagen is left behind offering zero hybrid cars. Do I think BYD will take over? I think it already took!

As an Australian motor mechanic, I think that BYD will do well here if/when they have a good warranty record and support from the factory.
Most current legacy ICE vehicle companies are becoming very difficult to extract warranty claims out of, the most notable exceptions being Hyundai and Kia who are easy to deal with.
The BYD pricing is compelling, as long as the long perceived 'poor Chinese quality' becomes a thing of the past, they'll grow here.

4:17 That is wrong. The first European BYD factory is already being built in Hungary right now.

The rise of BYD reminds me of Hyundai automotive in the 1980s. A very similar story arc. On a related note, it would be interesting for you to look into Geely. Geely owns the Volvo and Lotus car brands as well as having major relationships with Daimler and Renault. Its business strategy is very different from BYD, but it shares the low-cost Chinese manufacturing base and deep history in both ICE and electric vehicles. BYD's advantage selling into North America and Europe is that is already owns brands with a rich history and positive customer image. Volvo-BYD is rolling out an all-electric lineup over the next few years. Whether it will go after the $30,000 and under market in the US is unknown.

I already drive a Lynk & Co 01, another Chinese car (Volvo collaboration). The car is amazing value for the price.
I'd get another Chinese car in a heartbeat.
I don't get the distrust by some people. China makes great products, including cars.
I'm not a nationalist, I'm a consumer.
I just want the best value my money can buy.
If European or US manufacturers want me to buy their cars, they need to step up their game, and give me a good reason to do so.

Remember when people laughed at Japanese cars in the US?
