BYD makes best EV cars in the world. I had my BYD EV for 3 years racked up almost 200,000 km. without any problems. I don’t understand why the west wants to prevent its citizens from cheaper and higher technology vehicles.
It is very simple. If the most most advance and sophiscated products are not made in the west. It is a threat for them to where they stand geopolitically. It means you are left behind and before they were the world leaders in that department. Also if technology is that great that means the military will have access to that technology.

China's a decade ahead of the rest of the world in design development and production of commercial EV's. Europe's slow response to new tec and America's stubborn resistance ensures they will maintain that advantage for the foreseeable future.

BYD rules the market in electric busses, while Volvo, Scania, Mercedes and the others are sleeping and being busy raising the rainbow flag on their busses in June...
In 2019, two eastern provinces in the Netherlands (Gelderland and Overijssel) ordered 259 electric BYD buses. It was the largest European BYD order. The services were provided by the French public transport company KEOLIS. BYD received this order because it was simply the cheapest. However, there were so many problems with the buses that KEOLIS had all buses checked by the German TÜV. In 2022, 70% of the BYD buses had defects, the absenteeism among the drivers was between 20%-25%. The drivers could not sit comfortably. Because buses could not drive and drivers were sick, KEOLIS could not meet the conditions set by the province. The province of Overijssel decided then to purchase 104 electric Volvo (7900 series) buses and KEOLIS was replaced by another French public transport company Arriva. Cheap is not always the best, public transport companies must also look at quality.
If I"m right, Volvo today is owned by Chinese company Geely. I think it was already a part of Geely when it replaced the BYDs in 2022. A lot of Volvo models are made both in Europe and China.
