At the Shanghai auto show this week, the largest crowds can be found around an unassuming, bright yellow hatchback parked at the booth of China's largest electric carmaker BYD .

People use their phones in front of the BYD Seagull that is displayed at the Auto Shanghai show, in Shanghai, China April 19, 2023.

"It’s my kind of car, it’s suitable for driving to and from work, and you don’t need to manage anything, just use the battery ... it's also a relatively low cost product," said Fan Yuhong, 28, a visitor to the fair who works in advertising and was among those at the booth. The car is available in two range versions from 305 to 405 kilometres , with a fast charging system that will allow it to ramp up from 30% to 80% charge within 30 minutes, according to BYD. It will run on a lithium iron phosphate BYD Blade battery.

Bill Russo, the Shanghai-based founder and CEO of strategic advisory firm Automobility, predicts the Seagull will become the best selling car in China within six months of its launch.In recent years, the rise of Chinese automakers has remade the competitive landscape of the world's largest auto market, and those companies, including BYD, are now readying to take their cut-throat domestic prices global by increasing exports.

Will the chinese made cars present breach risks like huawei?

Now show the children in the lithium and cobalt mines.

Nice the Chinese like EV's but everything is coal powered in China !

Is this an ad , is BYD paying Reuters for this? You should really disclose that relationship with the Chinese automaker. Two days in a row you have been highlighting their cars !!

The car is available in two range versions from 305 to 405 kilometres (190 to 252 miles), with a fast charging system that will allow it to ramp up from 30% to 80% charge within 30 minutes, according to BYD. It will run on a lithium iron phosphate BYD Blade battery.

The Chinese have one major issue - no charger infrastructure.

Whats the catch? I’m guessing they’re not allowed to sell for this price in Europe.

Your translation is even wrong of what the first man is saying.

Wow 🤩 BYD

Only promises of higher future margins will buoy the share price. And it won’t be enough, because the street doesn’t trust Tesla’s aspirational guidance anymore. Promises and more promises. Though I think there is merit in the margin story.

We're still obsessed with making EV cars look like ICE ones. Why are the seats still waay back in the middle of the car? For urban vehicles that dont go fast, we need to stop worrying about aerodynamics (which does nothing at low speeds around town),& focus on space/practicality.

This is great. The transition is happening rapidly and affordably for many. Hope this is a decent car that makes a difference in so far as I decreasing ICE vehicle presence and signaling their demise.

Looks like a Kia
