I had said this for a long time. Regular ppl moving from point A to Point B will buy a KIA or a Cheap Chinese Car in the future. They are the Real competition. When toyota enters its too late. We will settle for a cheaper product that can do the job for us.

Seems like a decent thing to be backing.

Americans bank at Bank of America, then Warren Buffet backs Chinese automaker. 😱

This company is a silence leader. They made battery more than 20 years and product BYD electric bus all over the world. Their electic car are very competitive and popular.

We should all be watching this as EV's are a lot closer to taking over the entire car market than most people think. Good to see the Chinese moving forward with this and I think this looks pretty good.

No matter who is behind EV manufacturer, it's good for the industry to have competition in the market, for all, for technology development & for costumer satisfaction
