China auto sale accounts for one third of world total auto sale in 2023 and so far in 2024. Capturing 80% of China’s sale alone (30 mil) would propel Chinese car brands to the world’s bestselling car brand by total sale volume. Currently Japanese car brands are the bestselling car brands by country of origin, selling about 23 million cars per year

They can speed this up by exporting gasoline cars as well. The Chery 1.6T GDI is very good engine.

This is a good "user experience" article. The owner is articulate and reasonable in his criticisms, the article does not appear sensationalist or prejudiced, and BYD NZ representatives are given ample opportunity to reply.
Truth. It's critical for an emerging brand to address (and be seen to address) even minor points of friction because, in the absence of a strong local reputation, those frictions can disproportionately shape the local narrative about the brand in ways that subsequently become difficult to shift.
Yet even in this critical article, I notice something interesting...
From BYD NZ (local distributor: Ateco):
Compare this to BYD Australia (local distributor: EVDirect):
One of these sets of conditions inspires customer confidence, and one of them undermines confidence by making it look like the brand (a) lacks confidence in the durability of its components and (b) is seeking every opportunity to deny warranty claims and will probably try to screw you over in other ways that are not immediately apparent.
This doesn't only matter for that subset of prospective customers that are engaged enough to look into the details of such things. If you have a simple, comprehensive warranty then you can advertise it as such at every opportunity, including in critical articles such as this one! Whereas with BYD Australia, you can't even get a publicity win from advertising the long battery/motor warranty because, while battery degradation is indeed a significant customer concern, when you highlight that guarantee specifically everyone's first thought is going to be "and what about the rest of the car?"

Latest MIIT filings. Just some very interesting numbers all around. Z9GT and Bao8 will both have very large battery packs (same size as Seagull), but pretty short pure electric range. Bao8 especially is just humongous. Going to take a long time for us to move to BEV for large off road SUVs like that
