BYD's least expensive EV is far less than $32k USD, but in any case I suppose it's a matter of perspective.
how you gonna buy one in the US?
Why would I care?
But to answer your question, the word you're looking for is "import".
the article is talking about ev sales in the us. i guess i should have just assumed you were too dumb to read the article. also importing is a good way to add 10,000 to the price
I'm not sure why there's so many slow, dumb fuckers like you on Lemmy, but fyi, I said two sentences.
Importing and such has nothing to do with the topic. They are making good, cheap (sub $32k usd) cars. That is a fact. Their cars - and most importantly, their batteries - are available outside of China. This is a fact.
By virtue of making good cheap cars, and making them available outside of their national borders, it does dramatic things to the rest of the industry to follow suit.
For example, you don't think Tesla's price drops have been in a vacuum, do you?
But whatever. You're dumb as shit, and think arguing on Lemmy makes you less of a waste of space.
It doesn't, and you are.
Or, you could read what I wrote, instead of what you think I wrote.
