That suv plug in hybrid seems to be the most logical approach for trucks and SUVs. Eliminate 80%+ of your kms with 120km range or so on electric only then have petrol generator to recharge for long distance trips, towing and hauling. Been waiting for others to do the same
Well there is one thing BYD does very well that no other brand doea... they actually listen to their customers... and act on it... like removing the built your dream from the back for latam and euro markets, like removing the bings and bongs, etc. It is good customer services and their tech improves much faster due to it ...
BYD debuted the world's first production plug-in hybrid F3DM back in 2008, before Toyota. One can find articles about it on the internet. It's the proverbial tortoise that worked slow and steady to reach the finish line 1st at the end of the race.
The Americans can bash all they want but the Chinese knows how to design, engineer and build impressive vehicles, and these relatively new manufacturers achieved far more than even long established American car companies (GM, Ford, Chrysler). American EV startups have been struggling long to get their first models to market (Fisker, Lordstown, Canoo, Faraday, etc.) only to fail miserably, while Tesla has many issues of their own and their long delayed new model, the Cybertruck has been a joke in the automotive industry with quality issues akin to Russian cars from the 80s and 90s (but suckers seem to flock to their hype despite it). If and when these Chinese car manufacturers enter here in America they would quickly be a huge threat and will change the car industry drastically in North America.
I don't get the objection to plug-in hybrids. I drive a Tesla now but drove a 2017 Chevy Volt for 5 years. The Tesla is the better car but the Volt is the better concept for mass adoption of EVs. The tiny bit of gas that an average person would use isn't likely to be enough to offset the benefits of being able to produce smaller batteries and not needing quite so much of an improvement in the public charging network as we'll need if we only produce pure EVs. Many people couldn't fathom getting by with a pure EV now but they can with a plug-in hybrid so that's one less pure gas car each time they make that switch. As long as they provide enough EV range to cover normal daily driving they will primarily be EVs.
Ha, those who scoffed at the very idea of owning a Chinese car are probably reassessing their position now! Not to mention all the idiots who still think that electric cars are a fad that will die out….clowns everywhere
Beautiful cars,gorgeous interior design and great build quality. Well done¡
Good

They should send me an test vehicle to the States for testing.
Elon musk was making fun of BYD just a few years ago! I am sure he is not laughing anymore

Warren Buffet isn't wrong investing in byd.
