Watch all of this play out in real-time. BYD (another Chinese manufacturer) is less than 12 months’ old in Oz. Only Tesla now sells more EVs than it does. The different Chinese brands are competing with each other here now, on price (Teslas are also often made in China). This will drive prices down fast, and these cars are already orders of magnitude cheaper to run than petrols or diesels. And have much better performance. It’s game over.
