Recently, the car blogger @ Dehuai AI exposed a red photo of BYD Han EV driving. The car itself is not rare, but its location has aroused public discussion. Yes, this Han EV is on the streets of Beverly Hills, California, USA, and California is where Tesla's headquarters is located.
Previously, BYD only had electric buses in the U.S. market, but this situation has ended. According to BYD's official news, has officially entered the U.S. electric passenger vehicle market .
BYD's choice to enter the United States at this time is a good time. According to relevant reports, according to the data of the American Automobile Association, as of Tuesday, the average gasoline price per gallon in the United States had reached $4.59 (equivalent to about 8 yuan / liter), 51% higher than a year ago, which is a level never reached in the history of conventional gasoline prices.
High oil prices have reduced people's desire to use cars. According to the data of the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the four week rolling level of US gasoline demand has reached the lowest level in the same period since 2013 after excluding the extreme situation of the COVID-19 in 2020. Compared with the same period last year, US gasoline demand has decreased by about 5% year-on-year.
At this time, electric vehicles are very popular. For BYD, there are more favorable external conditions for it to enter the U.S. market.
The question is, how much will Han EV sell in the U.S. market?
It is understood that the recommended retail price of the car in Brazil is 539990 Brazilian reais, about 755700 yuan. Of course, the price in Brazil has been on the high side, but it is certain that in the United States, Han EV will be much more expensive than the domestic price .
