Eric,
Yep, and there are a bunch of other wanabe BEV manufactures right behind them chomping at the bit.
Let me revise what I said, because I now realize that calling BYD "the next Hyundai" was actually a compliment.

There are reasons why Hyundai succeeded and other cheap-ass foreign auto makers didn't (e.g. Yugo, Daihatsu, Daewoo). But that's another topic.

Right now, I see BYD as nothing more than another Daihatsu at best. They're probably not much better than RuZZia's Lada.

Are they going to make EVs that will sell to the masses in the international market? Maybe, especially in super-crowded cities like Karachi, New Delhi, and Bangalore. Getting a good portion of those markets onto EVs will certainly help with their severe air quality problems.

Will they come here? Probably not, especially since Sino-U.S. relations are deteriorating.

Will something like it make it to the U.S. market? Again, probably not. I can't see any self-respecting American wanting to drive something that cheap and unreliable.
