Why it took them so long?
It was surprisingly hard for BYD to make a competent safe EV of their own. I am surprised that they tried to follow up on Qin’s success as a standalone hybrid. Hopefully, it’ll meet all expectations with a few improvements for the price (Soft plastic, real/quality leather would really make Qin an international best-seller).
This is BYD’s answer to the Chevy Bolt.
