BYD Company sends shockwaves across auto with its cheap Seagull electric vehicle model

BYD Company's ( OTCPK:BYDDF) ( OTCPK:BYDDY) new low-priced Seagull electric vehicle is creating a stir far and wide in the automobile industry

Many reviews of the $12K Seagull indicate that it does not have the feel for drivers of a cheap car. The Seagull was highlighted by the Associated Press to have craftsmanship that rivals U.S. electric vehicles that cost three times as much. Of note, a shorter-range Seagull version costs under $10,000. While tariffs on imported Chinese vehicles will keep the Seagull out of the U.S. for the near term, the strong response to the Seagull is being watched closely. The Seagull is expected to be sold in the UK in 2025.

"Any car company that’s not paying attention to them as a competitor is going to be lost when they hit their market," warned Sam Fiorani, a vice president at AutoForecast Solutions. He said BYD's ( OTCPK:BYDDF) entry into the U.S. market is inevitable. Last week, the Biden administration announced 100% tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China, saying they pose a threat to U.S. jobs and national security. Meanwhile, the Alliance for American Manufacturing warned that government subsidized Chinese electric vehicle makers could end up being an extinction-level event for the U.S. auto sector. Tesla ( TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is on record as saying that Chinese EVs are so good that, without trade barriers, they could dominate world auto markets.
