I saw BYD buses here in Alberta, Canada several years ago. They apparently performed very well in our cold climate on short to medium length runs. Eventually, it was decided to purchase a fleet of EV buses from a US company that were complete trash. The company soon went out of business and the buses are collecting dust. It is quite likely that they were purchased due to US political pressure.
Canadian here...and I'm tired of price gouging on pickups. A half-ton truck that used to cost us $45k just 5 short years ago, now starts at $75k. HD models that used to top out around $80k, but now start around $90k. The Chevy Bolt is one of the cheapest EVs, and it starts at $38k...for a subcompact car. The Blazer EV is $65k+, and the base Silverado EV 1WT starts at $80k at the dealerships that I've checked. Even with a 100% tariff, it would be cheaper to buy from a company like BYD. We've spent billions of tax dollars to prop up automakers and protect jobs, only to have them lay off those workers, and give their execs bonuses with the bailout money.
It's time for those companies to pay the piper for not keeping up their end of the bargain at the expense of their workforce, who are also taxpayers, and the rest of Canadians who are being price gouged at every turn when they need reliable and affordable transportation. Maybe BYD can set up shop here and create good paying jobs for those who lost theirs at the hands of North American automakers. As a pro-labor guy, I would welcome BYD opening up facilities here to build and assemble. Canadians get much needed competition in the auto sector to usher in affordability, and new job opportunities open up for people who were abandoned by, or find themselves forced to stay at, current companies.
The companies like to blame labor for the need to jack prices, but the record profits year over year tell a very different story. Those workers are the backbone of those companies, and are not being treated and compensated properly. Perhaps BYD can force them to take care of their workforce at the risk of losing top talent to them. When workers win, the economy wins. When people can afford reliable vehicles, they will buy them. Everyone's tired of the poor value for dollar and awful reliability of domestic vehicles due to poor design and engineering. It's not the assembly work in question, it's the cost cutting in design that creates inherent flaws in components.
So yeah, bring on BYD, Geely, and anyone else who will put foot to ass on vehicle prices and quality here. I'd love to get a Shark, or some other EV truck that could rival or beat the current offerings here at a lower price...especially if it can be built and/or assembled here.
Be sure to post a video about how well your brand new BYD survives its first Canadian winter.
@@MaximGhostIt won't be any different than a Tesla in Canada and I see plenty of them in Alberta.
@@bubba842 Sure, if you say so.
I don't see alot of EV's driving around here in Manitoba during winter when it's -30 to -40 C below. You can't even jump start those things....
@@MaximGhost BYD survives in Harbin, the coldest most populous city on the planet. So in Canada, it should be all right.
Canada has a very robust car manufacturing, design, and parts industry that can be heavily subsidized. As a Canadian I welcome BYD because the car industry in North America has been gouging and needs some competition to kick them in the ass.
WELL SAID! 🇨🇦
A lot of US buyers want the same.
Agreed! I don’t mind supporting made in America but not by being forced to spend 70k on a car. I’m still waiting on a 300 mile $25k EV and if they don’t deliver, I’ll just buy another Honda/foreign ICE vehicle.
Well said!
You mean making American cars. Canadians can also build BYD EV's oneday when all legacy auto goes bankrupt. Kodak!
Frankly, BYD wouldn't mind to build factories in Canada, especially if it can export to US market from there, just like what BYD is doing in Mexico.
It would be a win win for BYD and Canadian consumers but Canada would be put over Uncle Sam’s knee and given a major spanking .
Mexico has already been warned
Byd is not importing to the USA from Mexico. If the cars are gonna be in the US they should be built here, with parts built in the USA.
It'll also help our economy
SAM .. I hope you are right..I can't wait this will wake up the CANADIAN industries ..The prices of vehicles in Canada are OUTRAGEOUS as a MIDDLE class income can't afford to purchase a NEW vehicle ..
Same almost everywhere because consumers don’t really care where the cars are made as long as it fit the budget of more 90% low income population. Price is skyrocket on everything the last few years people can’t afford to pay $10k or $20k more for a car
Good for Canada. They should also implement direct-to-consumer sales model, like Tesla's. Legacy automakers and dealers must be crapping their pants.
Try to get a Tesla fixed. Especially if they have been in an accident. I am not a fan of dealers, but Tesla's model has lots of problems, chiefly lack of spare and replacement parts.
oh, I still remember when the province of Ontario government shelled out money to keep GM plants alive in Canada in 2009...yeah....sigh
Yea, our 🇨🇦 subsidies continues even today and MSM is silent about this and cries foul about 🇨🇳 support of its auto industry 😡… there is some hope yet as Globe and Mail published an article yesterday (Aug 1/24) in favour of letting 🇨🇳 EVs into the country 👍👍
@@stom8360 This a recent discovery, found another YTuber channel talked about spotting BYD reps walking around the Chrysler plant in Brampton Ontario....sounds like they're moving ahead to look to build in Canada!...here's a FYI, The Ontario Government bailed out Chrysler in 2009, and it's was 2.9 billion, which was written off by the Canadian government in 2018...all for nothing, so they can't say BYD purchase is ruining the auto industry in Canada
Yes but we conviniently don’t consider bailouts as subsidy
Sam, the American opposition to everything Chinese is about power politics. The US sees itself in decline economically and politically and sees China as the risting power. Anything that benefits China is seen as harming the US. You can debate the rationality of this attitude, but that's basically what's happening. China is also scapegoated for supposedly "causing" American industrial decline. Again, an entirely irrational posiiton - the US was in industrial decline long before the "China shock" - but that is the easy narrative that Americans of both major political parties tell their people.
Unfortunately, China is "hitting a wall" (almost literally!) as an economic power due to the negative demographics of that country, a fallout from the "one child per family" policy. Companies in China are finding it increasingly difficult to fill out their work force becuase of the increaseing lack of young workers.
As an American; I have no opposition to anything Chinese. The only reason we’re forced to these tariffs is cause Michigan is a swing state and will be a political nightmare to either party “looking” weak on supporting American made cars. Which again I don’t care, I like most Americans drive Hondas & Toyota's.
China is willing to provide enormous state subsidies to the tech it intends to dominate in global markets ... just for the auto batteries alone they provide an average of $4000.00 per vehicle. I have no idea what the average Chinese auto plant worker makes but I bet its nowhere north of $44/hr (avg.) US workers make. In effect opening auto markets to China is a way to import unemployment.
@@sammavitae114 bro get out of here. Every country including US doing the same thing. That 7,500 credit for US made batteries, Tesla paying little to no taxes, etc
@@sammavitae114 the new lithium farm in California is state sponsored. Literally the exact same as Chinese state sponsored product
As a Chinese Canadian, and early adoptor of EVs (since 2017), I welcome this news. It's brilliant move by BYD to start limited import use as Uber vehicles to show people how great their cars are, and dispell the myth of Chinese EV fire risks. Then slowly, people will demand them, and democratically elected government has to bend to people's will.
Send more money to china. To build their war machine, and modern colonialism.
Penny wise, pound foolish.
2017 is not early for EVs LOL
@@trollking99in Canada it is.
Good new , so that Canadian can buy affordable EV
Good luck getting it insured
probably will get taxed to unaffordable tho 😂
@@chinadollfmdif Byd is officially/legally gonna be sold in Canada, it will be insurable.
@@chinadollfmd Tell me you know nothing about insurance (at least in Canada) without telling me. Canadian insurers are heavily regulated (maybe over-regulated), but unlike the US they are NOT (currently, at least) allowed to GOUGE.
On the other hand, they are as safe an investment as a US treasury bond. Hmm, maybe safer ...
Who says they affordable?
Looking forward for more variety of EVs to Canada. Amen brother
Most Tesla sold in Canada come from China. So I don't see why Byd could not do the same.
That might change in the future when Canada imposes 100% tariffs on Chinese assembled EVs. The good news is, future Teslas will probably come from US factories.
yeah if tesla wanna sell with razer thin margins then sure you are a genius 😂 elon might isagree with you on that 😂@@KP-xi4bj
Actually most Teslas sold in Canada come from Fremont, California. I think there has been some supply or delivery problems which is why some Teslas were Chinese made. Now with the possibility of Chinese Tariffs, unless they are exempted your Tesla might come from Europe? India? Canada?
As in Montreal area, it has been a few months that we no longer get the Chinese imported Model 3/Y by Vancouver
Unfortunately the Canadian government piggyback on uncle joe and his twin's national security things of spying washing machine and party balloons 🎈 .
I’m Canadian and I’m excited for the possibility of buying a BYD I’m just not sure how they will come because Canada is sure to follow America 100% tax so they will have to build a plant here. Canada is the ninth largest automotive market in the world so it would be worth building a factory here.
Trump has already said he would be happy to invite any China car company to build a factory in America so it’s coming at some point.
We’re kind of in a sticky situation right now as the government is trying to join in with the US to put a tariff and we need to stop the Chinese tariffs from coming to Canada because we need affordable EVs and currently there expensive
In 2022 Ontario, Canada was the number two automotive producer in the world next to Michigan building over 1.2 million vehicles.
Canada is #3 in North America and there are only 3 countries in North America...
@@vlhc4642oh snap! 🤭
Apparently, your very, very small "world" includes only Ontario and Michigan.
@@vlhc4642
Canada produce cars costs more for Canadians than export to US.
While the US produce cars for Americans sell for less to their locals than export to Canada.
That includes when the Canadian dollar is equal or higher than the US dollar.
Does that make sense?
The benefits for that don't really trickle down to the average Canadians.
This is why tax always goes up and never goes down in the most prosperity time in Canada.
Copy that?
@@loktom4068 Do you have objective proof or is it just a feeling?
I remember it used to be the case back in 2007, however, prices had readjusted by 2009.
I've been long waiting for the Chinese EVs to be acailable in Canada. Too bad, if Canadian government increases the tarrif, this only means I as a customer has to spend more money. What's the point to apply the tarrif as Canada doesn't even have any own brand? 😢😢
A quick Web search would tell you that the Canadian auto industry is worth about $100 billion a year. Your chuckle at the suggestion that there is such a thing as a Canadian auto industry suggests you needed to do a bunch more research before recording the video.
I'm so tired of the sentiment in Canada about EVs. I look around and see the same old cars on the roads. The prices have been too high for the average driver. That's why you don't see many new cars on the roads. We need to do better. Canadians are hard working people and I know we can do better. I hope BYD and others make it to Canada to stir up the auto industry.
Welcome to Canada, it's a long journey. I hope the first spec would be Seal or Atto.
Seagull hopefully.
They will do well in Vancouver.
And in the rest of Canada including the rural areas when consumers realize that battery problems are a thing of the past and EV superiority will only continue to improve.
@@donwhyte9855I live 42 km from the nearest town, have a vw egolf for 7 years, it's been great. Saw BYD's in Thailand, I'd buy one in Canada. I've never owned a north American vehicle and never will.
Don't worry Sam. I have a brain. I bought a BYD Atto 3 back in 2022 - ordered January 2022 - because of you. You put me on to the Atto 3. Yes, we did have a few glitches with software, one being catastrophic as it bricked the car! But to blame you? How 2024 and how ridiculous. We've been so happy with our BYD apart from the one serious software problem which was immediately put right. Well done and thank you so much for this hot tip over two years ago.
This will be great for the Canadians!
After Elon's suggestion that the Maduro government must go in Venezuela, I'm now looking at BYD.
Why exactly?
Did he really say that? I thought he only questioned trump's legitimacy of being elected.
Elon is at an advanced stage of a disease called American Exceptionalism. He's been unhinged when it comes to dictating the leadership of south American countries proclaiming on a Tweeter post in 2020 with reference to Bolivia: "we will coup whoever we want! Deal with it."
Because he wants Venezuela's vast Lithium deposits
@@bubba842 You sure about that chief?
America has it's self to blame nice one BYD cheers mate
Australia let its auto industry die. We are not going let 500,000 jobs disappear without a fight.
Yes, the West let this happen. La, la, la, gas cars are so great. Oopps . . . .
Having owned new Lexus’ in the mid to late 90s and one Acura new in 2001, then to a Bangle BMW 5er from 2004 and a new BMW every three years thereafter. Traded a G81 BMW for a BYd Seal Performance and astonished at the performance, build quality, reliability, and overall refinement and power. Couldn’t come close to the power for anything even double the price. While it won’t drive like a BMW, nothing does, it’s amazing for the cost. Looking at the new midlife cycle Seal “7” with its new interior and also the Sealion 7, Seal SUV and BYD Shark. And if Yangwang comes here the U8 will be in our garage. The Chinese improvements are so great it’s just unbelievable. Look at the Koreans, took them a better part of 3 decades to improve to where they are now. It took BYD 3 years and they are now surpassing the Koreans in all aspects. China is a force to be reckoned with. They will take over the auto industry and send some legacy manufacturers into oblivion.
A record heatwave has hit Antarctica, with ground temperatures across swathes of its ice sheets increasing an average of 10C above normal over the past month, the Guardian reports. Temperatures have reached 28C above expectations on some days, it adds. The story, which appears on the front page of the Guardian, notes that the heatwave is the second to hit the region over the past two years, with the last, in March 2022 leading to a spike of 39C and causing a portion of the ice sheet the size of Rome to collapse. A Washington Post article reports that “the hottest place on Earth just observed its hottest month”. It says that Death Valley, California, recorded an average July temperature of 108.5F (42.5C) - the highest monthly value ever recorded, according to Brian Brettschneider, a climatologist based in Alaska. The Los Angeles Times says Needles, a town near the California border, has surpassed the previous city record for highest average temperature in July, with a new high of 103.2F (39.5C). Previously, the record was held by Phoenix, Arizona, after it reached 102.7F (39.3C) last July. New Scientist reports on a new study that concludes mountain glaciers in the Andes are the smallest they have been for at least 130,000 years, The news outlet explains that nearly all of the world’s tropical glaciers are found in the Andes, adding that it has been “clear for decades” that they are retreating due to man-made climate change.
we all know that stuff, do you own a car?
As Canadian, we allows way other products from China without special laws. Than mean other enterprises and domains faced the music against China with limited specifics laws. I welcome them if they can put pressure on existing manufacturers to provide more affordable products.
Remember, there are four points on a compass, North, East, South and Hypocrisy.
I'm not about to drop over 50K CDN for an EV in Canada. Prices need to come down under 20K CDN. If BYD can deliver, I will consider this when my ICE car is ready to be crushed.
The cheapest gas "cars" (there's only a couple) start @ 23K CAD, so asking for an EV today for under 20K is a bit unrealistic. Much akin to demanding 1000 Km range from an EV when there's nothing in the ICE market that will deliver that.
I'm in the same position as you and feel the same way.
@@daemoncan2364 May not be that far-fetched.

@@daemoncan2364 Just because they charge you more here for an EV than an ICE doesn't mean EVs have to be more expensive than an ICE. This is why we need competition.
I live in Canada, really pissed off by the f*ing government. Raise thousands of carbon taxes with the excuse of environment protections. Okay we try to switch to the EVs but how many choices available which are "affordable". How much for a Tesla 3? CAD$60,000+. I believe the cheapest EV is Hyundai Kona but still costs almost $60K on the road and most of the reasonable family sizes EVs are closer to $100K, plus $4K for insurances. Tell me how many Canadians can afford? Bear in mind, the average price for ICE vehicles is around $50K.
Love it as A Canadian, bring it!
Back when US was building big gas ⛽️ guzzlers, Honda and Toyota was bringing in little gas savers. GM, Ford, and Jeep was surprised. This is nothing new..
As for BYD in Canada I would worry about after sale service since BYD have no dealers in CANADA , price is not everything , initial quality , reliability , service is also important.
I don’t think you need to worry about it…BYD will definitely have a good support network in place when they launch… it’s the 🇨🇳 way for overseas foreign buyers.
Hell yeah! Finally, Canada can catch up to New Zealand and Australia on EVs. Perfect timing for me. lol
The US Empire doesn't like Chinese cars? The American citizens don't like the govt. running their life, telling them what cars they can buy and taxing the hell out of them with100% Tariffs
I don't understand why all Americans don't cherish Musk and Tesla for being a proud US company and world leaders in the EV market.
Look into the dystopian horror the Chinese gov is toward those they deem undesirable. Mostly Christians and Muslims.
In that light, *no one should support China by buying their stuff, especially big ticket stuff.*
Canada dooes have an automotive and airline industry and has had for decades, albeit the autos made in Ontario Canada are american brands, however they employ thousands of canadians..
The same thousands of Canadians can now service Chinese EV so no lost
And the money goes to the US. (Just like the Canadian oil industry, it's good for US BILLIONAIRES. And a select few Canadian politicians - MS. Smith).
Or Japan (Honda Alliston, Toyota Woodstock and Cambridge). I think both Honda and Toyota are screwed no matter what, Chrysler Brampton has been on a knife edge for years, Ford Oakville just made a really BAD decision to build nothing but stupidly overpriced trucks.
Also, Canadian auto wages are lower than the US by about 30% or more and as I've posted before, WAGES ARE NOT THAT IMPACTFUL in the price.
Politics, taxes, politics, cost of energy, politics, quality of workforce ... did I mention POLITICS? ... all of these come into where a plant gets built. Or bought. (Look at the fascist billionaire and why he's moving HQ around. NOTHING BUT SELFISH POLITICS).
True! Bombardier is Québécois.
@@jbqu3142 Yes, and every time I see a CanAm I think: THAT should be electric.
Bombardier is (was?) a great Canadian success story.
Tariffs are coming in against the Chinese cars, as dictated by the USA, into Canada. Going to be very expensive.
Fort America.
I wrote an email to the federal government as part of their so-called public consultation process, asking that Chinese companies be welcomed to Canada, as the purchase of cutting edge cars from other countries is a Canadian tradition. My family bought Volkswagens when they were new, Datsons when they were new, Hondas when they were new, Kia’s when they were new, so I don’t understand the pushback against Chinese vehicles. It’s not good for the Canadian public to be forced to buy ICE vehicles because of lack of choice. Seems like an oil and gas lobby. I wish government was free from corporate manipulation, and did things for the benefit of the people instead. By the way, I had no response to my email from either my local representative or from the federal department.
BRING THEM!!!!!
(With NACS connectors, please! Although I will probably never use a public charging station anyway ...).
Why NACS? way more CCS in Canada than Tesla chargers
@@3184Patrick NACS will dominate. And I know where the TESLA SC is near me.
CCS Is the standard all over the world.
And if you did have a NACS connector there is no guarantee that you could use a Tesla supercharger.
@@bubba842 Metric is the standard the world over. 240 Volt is the standard the world over.
Tell THAT to the Americans.
Elon played it so NACS WILL BE the North American standard; that means he has to allow it to be universally accessible. But there will be adapters both ways for a long while. Being totally selfish, there are Tesla Superchargers anywhere I might want to go (so long as you can use them, and in Canada that will be legislated sooner or later).
I DO get your point, but ...
@@bubba842 yeah i think it was a massive mistake for North American EV’s going to nacs. Should have had Tesla go to ccs instead
Actually Sam, I don't mind the idea of software updates being done at a dealership. Last thing I'd want is for my car to be bricked with a failed OTA update and having to get it towed to the dealership.
As for BYD, it'll be interesting to see how the Blade batteries fare in Canadian winters.
You can always park in the dealership's lot and do the update. If it bricks make the appointment to get it fixed and ask for a loaner!
BYD produces more PHEV than BEV (enen if in China)
LOL. Study China's map. Winter in Northern China is 10x colder than Canada, considering most of the Canadian population live near the southern border.
OTA updates are very reliable as the update is downloaded to the EV then checked for errors before the update of the flash memory in the vehicle is done. The only possibilities of a bricked car is a power failure or failed hardware in which case the EV wouldn't have been operational anyway.
@@bobsmith3983 Exactly. How many times has an OTA bricked a car? Never.
You said Canada and Mexico aren't very far from each other. They're over 4300 km away as the crow flies, much farther if you're measuring from an auto factory to an end consumer. Canada and Mexico are separated by more than the length of the Australian mainland measured east to west). I'd call that pretty far away, actually.
Sam probably meant both are in North America. Not say eastern Europe and North America.
It is USA loss. US originally ban dji drones but now have to do a 180 degree turn and allow it inside USA as there is no other capable and or any US manufacturer can out-compete China, dji can produce the best drone and at a reasonable price. It is expensive for me tho.
I watched this news a day ago, but it said, Canada needs to test to make sure BYD meet the safety standard of Canada, that process will take years.
canada has special safety standard more stingant than EU, Australia etc?

Can't wait.
That’s great we need them badly!!!!
A problem in the US is that finance guys run the country and they never took a science course in their lives. Jeannine
as a Canadian, i would like more competition and would like the chinese to come.
On August 27, the Canadian government announced a 100% tariff on Chinese made EVs. Now, if BYD made EVs in Mexico or Canada, it could avoid the tariffs, but it would require more than final assembly, but 70% North American components.
if byd SUV came to Canada, i will buy.
BYD would be wise to produce in Canada. They already have a Bus production center here and Canada has been subsidizing manufacturers to build here so why not BYD and help canadians get fair priced vehicles
So… you buy a BYD SEAL in Canada. You then drive it over the Border into the States. Someone wants to buy it as a used car. You sell it but does this mean the buyer pays Tariffs?
Everyone talks about profit margins of Big Three and Tesla, I have yet to hear any politician talk about how the everyday folks can benefit from affordable EVs.
Some politicians and manufacturers do say we need to switch to EV's but how to do that when prices are still at bleeding edge first adopter levels.
The big question for Canada … Are BYD car resistant to Canada winter with road salt and low temperatures? Does steel panels are both side galvanized? How does battery will perform at -30 Celsius? Does it have a thermopump?
Please educate yourself. Winter also exists in China.
Likely BYD is getting these from their new Thailand Factory.
I've been driving a Model S for the past 10 years, Can't waiat for the BYD here.
I do not believe they will be as successfully as people think!!!
If the chinese government is giving away money via ev subsidies we should find a way to exploit that. Also, EV's use 1/4th the gasoline. We could export way more oil if we stop using it.
I love 2000 KM BYD plug in Hybrid
Good development for Canada.
I am in the USA. I cry every night because I cannot trade my 2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed for a BYD Dolphin or MG electric. Damn USA trade policies!!
I will gladly do a swap for my MG!
@@TerryHickey-xt4mfwe Canadians are just so very kind.😅
BYD CEO was in Canada touring the Stellantis plant in Ontario, Rumor are that they going to buy this company
You’re right in terms of subsidies, the proportionality of subsidies seems to be the point of contention, I also suspect the Fed does not want to have to bail out legacy OEMs…again. The high fake prices under dubious pretenses needs to stop, they were brought to light when the exchange put CAN$ on par with USD… still under the rug though. They need to meet our safety standards though.
Game changer mate 👍
GM left Europe and Australia, and Ford left Brazil, I think if this trend continues they will become irrelevant, is better for the Chinese to sell their things here, maybe make them build a factory to employ American workers, than to protect your industry, that way there is completion and your product get better.
Ha! Our power grids already get several warnings a year that we are about to go down... Can't wait until we add cars.
Ongoing expansion of renewables like rooftop solar, and deep and ultra deep geothermal coupled with local and grid battery storage will begin to move us in Australia's and China's direction. These are early days yet for renewable power and EV's. Gas cars took decades to reach some kind of maturity but there hasn't been much progress in automotive design since seat belts, disk brakes and hybrids. I welcome these new initiatives.
@@donwhyte9855 Grid battery storage has massive inefficiencies and the size required is unreasonably huge
Solar panels are an environmental disaster when considering production and disposal of them.
In Canada, I'll be waiting to see the quality of BYD; my Bolt euv Lt has had zero problems, and it'll do until BYD prove themselves.
By 2026 BYD sales will reach 6 million
No Auto-Corp is originated from Canada, but some major Parts/Tool Corps do. This is because of the Auto-Pact signed between the US/Canada in 1965 wherein Auto trade became Tarrif free and Canada was ensured that Canadian Auto Industry employment levels would not fall below 1964 levels.
Who really cares about your auto-pact or whatever pack you have.
The earth continues to rotate and flatten you people out, like it or not.
The world doesn't care.
Hope BYD will come with the NACS plug.
Canadian Government will probably follow suit to restricting Chinese software or Hardware, so Canadian will be sol.
Canadian govt doesn't really know what most car customers want with EVs
The Canadian government definitely knows how to make a retail priceable car of $15,000 into a markup of $30,000+ or - retail price of the exactly same car.
It's not a joke or something fake.
It's as real as it is.
😅😂😂😅😂
At one time I would have said no-way, Jose. Now, would love to see some Chinese made EVs, beyond Tesla, have access to the Canadian market. If for no other reason than to tick off a lot of EV luddites. 😂
As a U.S. citizen could I buy a BYD EV in Canada and drive it home? I will never buy a Tesla.
Western brands have been overpriced for decades. Finally some competition to reduce the price of vehicles. I am excited for BYD hybrid, that has 2000km range. My daily commute is less than 100km , that means I would only need to fill up maybe 5-6 times per year. Hope there is no tariffs. So prices remain low.
White shirts ate also heavily subside by the Australian government. 😂
The electric Viking, I forgot to announce byd has partnership with uber
Guess there are not enough subsidies in Canada for American cars
Honda gets subsidy in Ontario however more in training and infrastructure.
As part of the trade agreement between Canada, United States, and Mexico there are significant 'rules of origin' requirements for automobile parts for vehicles manufactured in any of three countries. A BYD facility in North American could not simply import Chinese-made parts and assemble cars here. It is more expensive to manufacture anything in the United States or Canada. These rules will likely make BYD cars more expensive to manufacture.
A future President Donald would very likely try to make the rules of origin more stringent.
*BUT* , I worry about the range of the BYD vehicles in the very cold winters of Canada, especially east of the Rockies. Are the BYD battery packs reliable in temperatures that will can reach as low as -30° C in eastern Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and northern Ontario? Remember what happened last winter when Tesla vehicles had all kinds of problems with the Upper Midwest cold snap? And has BYD actually done a lot winter testing to ensure reliability in the cold Canadian winters?
Harbin in northern China is colder than Canada.
China's northern region reaches up to -30's in the winter. I am sure BYD test their batteries in this region also.
I don't expect a reply since you seem to puke out FUD and then go on to post again. Look at "Population of Canada" at wikipedia and look at the map of population densities. Second, why do the Scandinavian countries not have this charging problem during the winter? Maybe they read the recommendations on cold weather driving and charging? Blaming EVs for this problem is like me blaming my old diesel truck that won't start on a very cold morning. It couldn't be that I didn't plug in the engine block heater. No, its that diesel trucks are no good in the cold.
@@smashsmash5866they do. Lots of Chinese spy car shots come out of their testing in Harbin
BYD got $3.7B in subsidies from China and sells over 3M cars a year. Vinfast was approved for $1.2B in subsidies in the US and they maybe sell 30-40K cars a year worldwide. And yet the US has the nerve to complain about Chinese subsidies!
Because Vinfast was going to produce batteries in the US. China can also build factories in the US and get subsidies. Why dont they?
@@PelleGITCATL did do that in partnership with ford. There was a huge political hubbub about it. Suggest you do some reading before opening your trap
@@PelleGITHow they are produce batteries in the US? They even hasn't got an own battery plant in Vietnam. Currently, they use batteries from Catl, Gotion and Samsung
Vinfast is a Vietnamese company receiving US subsidies to build vehicles to be sold in the US.
China is directly subsidizing vehicles for export. Not to mention, they are indirectly subsidizing their vehicles through currency devaluation. The RMB should be at least three times its current value. That means that the people of china should be able to import significantly more than they currently do and the cost of goods from china should be significantly higher as well.
@@jessedavisson701 Vinfast makes 30-40K cars a year and gets approved for $1.2B in subsidies. The big players such as Ford, GM, and Toyota get FAR more money in subsidies than that. China subsidizes auto production, of which less than 20% are exported. How is that different from US subsidies? The US exports over 2M cars a year from the US.
The RMB is trading at 7.16 to 1 USD. Are you actually claiming that the rate should be 2.39 RMB to 1 USD??? That's just absurd nonsense.
The US also has tricks to directly subsidize their exports. The US charges profits made by US companies outside the US at about half the rate of profits made in the US. That is a MASSIVE export subsidy. Tax rates in US are 21% vs tax rates for profits outside the US of 10.5%. That's 105M of export subsidies for each $1B in profits for US exporters!
Chinese cars manufacturers should expand into the USA market
Of course we want BYD. If our government cannot help us get affordable vehicles, then F them. Bring on BYD. I actually ordered an Aptera but they are really having problems producing.
The main problem with some of these off-shore oriental cars, is that they are made for midgets. Not for real people. My wife bought one because she liked it, and I cannot even sit in it properly, nor run the steering wheel without interference. She bought it because it has a very easy "step-in" height, also made for short midgets. This is also true for some Nissans and Toyotas. However our "very old" Camry has very comfortable seats, with huge room and long seat sliders. I am 6'5" so this matters a lot.
My question is,
how to get my BYD across the Canadian border to Texas.
Just don't drive thru Detroit, you'll be fine.😆
@@TerryAShaw Canadians homesteading in Detroit, film at 11.
Canadian government just introduced 100% tariffs on Chinese evs so not sure how this will play out
I hope BYD comes to Canada but Canadian government is likely to change in 2025 and the new government is likely to run things extremely differently. Undoubtedly, BYD knows this and might wait until later in 2025 to see what happens with the new government and if they are still welcome.
Finally BYD in Canada..Canada will drag this issue for years to come…Three deals with the government, Honda, Stellantis, Volkswagen, Ford. We will need BYD to come in and take over, when all of the above are bankrupt
BYD are in talks with Stellantis
Not gonna happen, there's a reason Chinese companies are all sticking to Hungary and Mexico, G7 countries have a long track record of stealing foreign investment, Britain already did it, Europe is talking about it, and Canada even illegally detained Chinese executives.
At most BYD might export a few cars to Canada until Canada inevitably obeys American orders to tariff them, but no they won't build any factories.
No Canada was serving a warrant from the US. They knew that there was a warrant and were so arrogant that they thought Canada would not do anything. Three days later 2 Canadians were thrown into solitaire and for the longest time denied Consular visits. She on the other hand was under house arrest in one of her mansions in Vancouver. After they made a deal with the US and she was on a plane back to China, the two Michaels were released the same day. I don't trust China at all and will never go back again.
Keep China out of Canada
If the USA government does not want BYD manufacturing in Canada, there's not much the Canadian government can do. The USA calls the power shots.
lol
With one condition, Canadians must vote for Trudeau from Liberal. The Conservatives will ban it if they are elected.
Trudeau has literally destroyed this country
Time for a change
5:30 add that to his cozying up to gm and Mary Barra yet excluding Tesla and Elon from the EV business round tables and a larger picture emerges
I’m a Biden fan but that’s just nonsense how do you exclude the EV leader and supercharger leader from business round tables just nonsense
I'm Canadian ...love your show! Before I watch ...What! This should be good (EYES CLOSED) lol ; )
👀👁️👀
It would make way to US soon too. No one has ever been successful in stopping tech. Those nations who have done so in the past, have gone years in the past. 😅
For example, Printing press was stopped by Muslim empire. Took them decades behind. So is the case with better tech long life and 6k cycles BYD, CATL batteries. Humans don't learn from mistakes.
Hell, I'll come up from the USA to buy one in Canada. Yeah, yeah, I know. Problems. So what. I'll make it work.
If true… Good, it would bring down Truly Ridiculous Prices on what is currently available.
