According to BYD, there are no plans to sell these very affordable EVs in the US. But the company—which is scouting plant locations in Mexico—might have a very good economic incentive to do so.

The company's CEO said at a conference in May that it has no plans to sell EVs in the U.S. BYD EVs aren't being sold in the U.S. now largely because of 27.5% tariffs on the sale price of Chinese vehicles when they arrive at ports.

BYD launched a price war on ICE vehicles last month with the new Qin Plus EV and PHEV models. Starting at $15,200 (109,800 yuan), the new EV officially opened a “new era of electricity is cheaper than oil.” The DM-i (PHEV) version is even cheaper, starting at around $11,000 (79,800 yuan).

Impressive craftsmanship, confident on the road, yet marred by a few weak points that are hard to forgive – this sums up the BYD HAN. As a large chauffeur-driven car, this luxury saloon achieves excellence on many fronts, combining impeccable quality, luxurious interiors and exceptional driving performance.
