For reference: In the U.S., my 1966 Fiat 600, one of the bottom line cars of the 60s had a cost of $1,400, equivalent to $13,000 today. And that was a car with NO Options LOL. No seat belts, airbags, infotainment, power anything, and seats equivalent to lawn chairs. When is America going to stop protecting big buck, gas guzzling monsters, and let us have cars we can afford :)

This is a really excellent video & exactly what I was looking for. Like a lot of Brits, I'm thinking about making the transition from petrol to electric. Sadly, over here, the economics for the ordinary man in the street simply don't work. The (outrageously!) high initial cost of most EVs massively outweighs any fuel savings you might get. The Seagull however could provide an answer. In China, you can pick one up for about $11k. If they can sell it overseas at close to this price, BYD will clean-up & I will be first in the queue with my chequebook open!
@AhmedAzabEgypt7 ай бұрын
Glad you like it. Yes, you're right, making the move to EV isn't cheap normally, but this one provides and attractive way forward, and I know that BYD is planning to export the Seagull.

Fantastic video. Remember that if anybody buys one, you should always get the one with the largest battery, the 38kWh one because it's the only one that has full battery cooling. The cheaper ones don't have any.
@ZweiZwolf7 ай бұрын
Just FYI, expect the US price to be more like $19k and the Europe price to be more like $16k. Selling outside China has a additional cost for transportation & logistics, localization, safety & regulatory compliance, tariffs & taxes, and distribution / distributors. Even at $19k, it'd be a great deal.
@MrSensible27 ай бұрын
@@ZweiZwolf Yes, that's the conventional way of looking at things but I'm not sure things will pan out that way. I doubt the Seagull will ever make it onto American soil, especially if the Orange Adolf wins the presidency later this year. The EU will allow it but will no doubt slap a hefty tariff on it at the behest of VW, Stellantis et al. The UK might conceivably be different, especially once voters consign our economically & environmentally illiterate government to the waste bin of history. I could see a progressive Labour administration doing a deal with BYD to positively encourage Seagull imports in order to meet our Net Zero commitments. Right now, a single household can claim a £7,500 grant to install a single heat-pump & the irony is folks STILL don't want them!! Why not dump the heat pump subsidy & give a £1,500 grant each to five people buying a Seagull?

One thing that I'd ideally want to change on the Seagull is its wipers. We get a lot of rain in the UK & IMO, a single front windscreen wiper & nothing for the rear windscreen, isn't particularly safe. This is particularly true on our fast but overcrowded motorways in winter, when big truck tyres throw up all sorts of dirt & grime onto your car.

@@MrSensible2 I am not saying that your requirement for a rear wiper is not legitimate. But I have noticed that no ONE complains that the twice the price, than the seagull, Kia ev5 or equivalent Ioniq or the model y have no rear wiper.
