I'm a European with an Audi car, been looking at switching to EV and I can't lie and say BYD doesn't look like more value for the money than the Audi alternatives, so doesn't really surprise me.

And that's despite the EU tariffs on Chinese manufacturers.

Well, in my country I can get up to 7K EUR back if I purchase a EV before the money runs out, not sure tariffs end up having any impact.

Then again, Chinese car companies are price dumping on purpose to kill the competition.

  Chinese cars are a lot more expensive outside of China than they are inside of China. And the difference is not just tariffs and shipping; they earn a lot more profit per car for exported cars than ones sold internally.
  IOW, they're not dumping, they're doing the opposite. I don't know why.

  If they're doing the opposite yet end up a lot cheaper with higher quality and more features, I'm really not sure what's going on. Don't see how they could be cheaper either.
