By some metrics, Chinese major BYD has already usurped Tesla as the worlds largest seller of electric cars. That of course comes with the caveat of including plug-in hybrid vehicles that BYD sells. It already has a big portfolio of electric cars but now this year it could be launching a premium EV in the US that could cost as much as $145,000.<\/p>\n
The plan for BYD is to increase the cost of its high-end electric cars by over 1 million yuan which is around $145,000. Already the starting point for its premium EVs is $116,000. As per only EV sales are concerned, BYD was only beaten by SAIC in China as it sold 320,000 battery electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
Already BYD has sold more than half a million cars in China despite lockdowns and a re-emergence of COVID, it continues to expand aggressively. It will be launching in the Japanese market with models like the Dolphin, Seal, and ATTO 3. It has already closed a partnership with European auto dealer Hedin Mobility - fuelling growth in the European market with deliveries starting in Germany and Sweden later in the year.<\/p>\n
Currently, the only model that BYD has is the Denza D9 which has been developed thanks to a co-development deal with Mercedes Benz. That car costs $96,000, so this could be something new.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
