Mostly Latinos looking for affordable, quality vehicles. Can’t really blame BYD for the market share loss when traditional U.S. automakers focus exclusively on the 50K and above market.
New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China

my latest on April sales figures. ICE have just fallen off a cliff, thankfully. NEVs have recovered. The export of NEVs are just surging right now.
Just like Nvidia, Americans spend so much time thinking about if they should allow Chinese cars into the US, they never bothered asking if China will allow Chinese cars into the US or allow Chinese auto companies to invest in the US.
Even if you ignore the obvious India type guaranteed investment theft or the high likelihood of Chinese employees being turned into hostages in death camps. Chinese auto clearly does not need US market to achieve global dominance, so
1. It's not exactly against Chinese interest to turn American streets into a time machine where everyone who ever visits the US from rest of the world immediately gets the impression the nation is technologically backwards.
2. It's also not against Chinese interest for a car dependant US economy to suffer from people's inability to buy cars or afford fuel for their cars.
Blade 2.0/lightning charging on Bao-5/8 with new Disus-P Ultra. interesting part is Bao-8 uses this new ADAS for off road that's a collaboration with Huawei and DJI. I did not expect DJI to be in there. They weren't in the previous Bao-5/8 which just used ADS 3.0

BYD demonstrates its new trick.
In April, the NEV market share of Tesla dropped out of top 10 in China.
Merely a decade ago, some Chinese cars were ridiculed by its own people. Not anymore, now ultra-luxury Chinese NEVs such as the Maextro S800 consistently beats their German counterparts.
Why are commercials vehicles still so largely largely dominated by ICE compared to passenger vehicles which is increasingly being dominated by EVs? Any reason for such a large difference ?

reliability, fixability, and range. EV's still lose a lot of range for towing.

I'm thinking because trucks and buses have higher power and range requirements. Home use application for anything is easier than heavy duty industrial/commercial use.
City busses however are rapidly becoming electrified due to their terrible fuel economy from stop and go driving. They usually fit in fine in a fleet and reduce costs significantly, especially in times like these where diesel is very expensive.
