They are far simpler with fewer parts. It is only a matter of scaling up manufacturing. The biggest cost is the battery.

BYD is closing in on Tesla as the largest EV manufacturer and most Americans have no idea they exist.

BYD has chosen not to approach the US market until at least 2030.

Why can't all public transport interiors be designed so nicely 😭
