In China, It’s Already Cheaper to Buy EVs Than Gasoline Cars::undefined
Tell me you know nothing about Chinese EVs without telling me you know nothing about Chinese EVs. BYD’s best sellers are actually plug-in hybrids, which is in no way “stolen” from Tesla.
Whatever happened to hybrids? Why did we all the sudden decide we need to push for 100% electric nationwide?
Hybrids were an necessity when large batteries weren’t feasable (in the first Leaf, for example, the 24kw battery was about 80% of the cost, it’s amazing they could sell it at a profit at all).
Falling prices and increased capacity means that isn’t really the case any more, and it’s not really worth the complexity of a hybrid.
