Il colosso cinese dei veicoli elettrici BYD vede le vendite nel Regno Unito aumentare dell’880%

>The company says it sold 11,271 cars in the UK last month

Cool, but “880%” sort of over-represents the low starting point of a fairly new-to-us brand. VW sold around 25k vehicles in Sept for comparison.

Still, a *very* noteworthy market share.

Is this the crowd paying “journalists” to attend events and threatening law suits for anything less than positive opinions on everything???

It’s almost like people don’t want to pay ridiculous sums of money for “badge”…

I test drove a BYD – the price point and massive amount of standard features was very attractive, but, it drove like a sack of potatoes on large floaty springs.

That said, in a few years, I suspect that our roads will be coated with BYD/Omoda/Jaecoo cars because they are so cheap vs the German competitors that have become fat and arrogant in their years.

Despite many people’s dislike to the CCP, the truth is that our wallet is the most powerful thing that dictates the way we live and what we buy. We are happy to choose whatever car we want as long as our wallet agrees and for most people their wallet is disagreeing at the moment.

Xiaomi’s flagship sports car the SU7, has a starting price of £22k in China. And these prices can come down even further.

When I visited china, the taxi driver bought his family sized EV for only £6k, and so he can lower his fare to ridiculous amounts. That half an hour drive only cost £3, which was cheaper than what I paid in India.
