In 2024, CEO of Ford, Jim Farley said, "I don't like talking about the competition so much, but I drive a Xiaomi," he said. "We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I've been driving it for six months now, and I don't want to give it up."
I just went to the BYD Mexico page (https://www.byd.com/mx/order/dolphin-mini) and spec'd out a budget car. so this is a 230-mile range, all electric 4-door hatchback. Similar to a Toyota Corolla or Honda Fit. Purchase price (converted to USD) $24k. a hybrid civic hatchback starts at $30k. a gas corolla hatchback starts at $26k. the most direct comparison would be the Chevy Bolt, a 260-mile range all-electric hatchback that starts at $29k (which is actually a pretty good deal).
