“The average price of a BYD EV in China is roughly $23,900. Due to intense competition and a hyper-localized supply chain, BYD offers a wide lineup of vehicles that start far below the brand's global or export price equivalents.

Price points vary across different popular models in the Chinese market:

• Subcompact: The BYD Seagull EV starts between $8,000 and $10,200.
• Compact/Mid-Size: Sedans and crossovers like the BYD Seal 06 EV start at around $15,300.
• SUVs & Flagships: Larger family EVs like the Sea Lion range from $21,400 to $35,700depending on the trim and powertrain”

When I bought my Tesla last year it was $37500 with the tax credit. Now it would be $45000 but that's still under the average price for a new car. That was one of the main reasons I bought it. It was cheaper than the Maverick Lariat that I was considering getting to replace my totaled Maverick.
