Former GM Executive: BYD cars are good in terms of design, features, price, quality. If we let BYD into the U.S. market, it could end up destroying american manufacturers (www.nytimes.com)

I've test driven a few BYD models here in Australia. 50 thousand dollarydoos for an electric car that goes 400+km, can power your house in a blackout, has all the normal electric car performance (6 seconds to 100kmhr) and is chock full of user comforts and safety features.

There are a LOT of these getting around in Brisbane, and for good reason. I didn't get one this time round, but by the time the lease expires on my Volvo EX30 in 4 years, I'll be looking pretty hard at BYD. Especially if they get their new solid state batteries going by then.
