EVs very rarely catch fire. A vehicle with a large tank of gasoline which is burned to produce power poses a much higher fire risk.
20-60x more likely to catch fire, depending on which study you look at. My first Google result said 20x, but it was on an EV focused website, and I thought they might not be impartial. But Kelly Blue Book should be pretty good, right? Their article says 60x.
all im saying is BYD is big hype. a lot of Chinese subsidies to try and take over the marked by being cheaper. china is not known for its quality but for its quantity and in a car you will notice that very fast. and i will laugh at everybody who gets one.
I would buy it. If I can get a decent brand new car to get from point A to point B for 10k, I wouldn’t even consider the other 40k options. I’d laugh at the people who have to waste that extra money to make themselves look richer or whatever.
Well, you are right about the subsidies and going after bigger market shares. And they may not be the highest quality vehicles, but I don’t think they will be terrible either or they wouldn’t hold on to the market share they gain.
They have been making electric buses and forklifts in the US since 2009, and have a decent reputation.

if you would buy one then you would consider BYD a decent brand. i don’t. they seem more like propaganda tool then car brand.
