Durability, performance, safety, and price. Can it be competitively priced?

    Last time I was in Beijing, the newest BYD was under 8,000 USD equivalent to buy in person before haggling.

    The new 2026 economy sedan on the BYD .com website is publicly listed at $11.5k and 13k USD equivalent for 80 miles and 135 miles of range respectively.

    Considering they have EV chargers every other block throughout the country and installed 10 million EV chargers in 18 months, that's plenty of range for a great price.
