BYD is kicking off a price war with gas-powered cars as new lower-priced electric vehicles begin rolling out. After launching the new Qin Plus EV Honor Edition on Monday, BYD said it’s “officially opening a new era of electricity is lower than oil.”

If the entry model came to the US, it could become the Ford Taurus or Toyota Camry of electrics. But the charging infrastructure would need to build up massively to be able to support that kind of volume.

The fact that they're hitting both low end and high end (plus everything in between) should be massively concerning to every car company.

Don't worry, they will pay politicians to make it illegal for them to sell here.

Just like they did with Tesla at first.
