BYD calls out the US and Europe for being ‘afraid’ of Chinese EVs

Electrek | Peter Johnson | Jun 7 2024

BYD posted its second-highest sales ever last month after introducing a series of new lower-cost electric (and PHEV) cars.

The new BYD Seagull, its cheapest EV, starts at just $9,700 (69,800 yuan) in China. Even in overseas markets, the “mini Lamborghini” (as former Lamborghini designer Wolfgang Egger led its design) is still one of the cheapest electric options.

In Brazil, the Seagull EV starts at around $20,000 (99,800 BRL). BYD’s car transport ship, Explorer No 1, landed in Brazil’s Port of Suape earlier this week, unloading 7,000 new energy vehicles (EVs and PHEVs).

The Explorer first docked in Germany in February, carrying 3,000 vehicles, as BYD expands the brand globally.
