      Curious if they will import slave labor for sales as well as manufacturing?

      For anyone wondering. BYD is all over Europe, Central and South America and Japan.

      It’s only North America that was gatekeeping it out.

      Good to see. I feel for autoworkers who feel attacked by Chinese EVs entering our country; if that was how I put food on the table, I would hate it too.

      But this Iran mess has shown how vital it is for countries to electrify and diversify away from oil and gas, if only for security reasons. In a free market economy, cheap EVs that ordinary people can afford are how you get that done

      Based on a [Globe and Mail report, BYD is focusing on Toronto first, then Vancouver, Montreal, and Calgary in that order](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-china-ev-maker-byd-auto-dealerships-canada):

      >BYD wants to establish 20 dealerships within a year, starting in the Toronto area, followed by Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary, he said.

      I think BYD likes Toronto because metro Toronto is the biggest potential market in Canada. Having said that, BC is one of the two provinces in Canada with the highest EV penetration (the other province is Quebec), and within BC, the city with the highest penetration of EVs is Vancouver. So it is interesting that Toronto got a higher priority than Vancouver from BYD, but I guess they are looking at the overall potential market size.

      One more thing, here are the EV sales growth percentages for various continents around the world, from January to September of 2025:

      >Global: 14.7 million (+26%)
      >
      >China: 9.0 million (+24%)
      >
      >Europe: 3.0 million (+32%)
      >
      >North America: 1.5 million (+11%)
      >
      >Rest of World: 1.2 million (+48%)

      Canada and the US are like the stragglers in the world when it comes to the growth of EV adoption.

      I am finally maybe able to get that used Toyota Corolla with 220,000km for under $40k thank goodness!!

      competition is fantastic. my only question is……what models and prices? i’m not buying a $50,000+ EV

    13. happypenguin460 on

      Good. Open it all up. Why are we protecting dying American industry?

    14. Euler007 on

      Same news keeps rerunning for weeks. Nothing new until we get pricing, models, location and dates.

      I’m definitely stopping by one of them to check them out. Not saying ima buy. I’m still good with my 16 year old Japanese made sedan. But I’m surely gonna see what these rides are all about

      Wait till they find out that it takes a year to get a permit in most municipalities. Welcome to Canada

    18. green_link2 on

      also article is not worth even opening the link. they do not state where these dealerships are going.

      Technically they’re not dealerships because they’re corporately owned. One thing Tesla doesn’t get enough credit for is the superior sales experience of dealing with staff who don’t make commissions, and fixed prices on the website. You just add it to cart and go pick it up

    23. MySubtleHustle7042 on

      Can’t wait for the Dolphin to start at a minimum of $50k, because Canada.

      Did not think this would happen so fast that’s crazy. Looking forward to more competition

      Bet they’ll have their own CCP police substation attached too. Bye has been accused of abusing and not paying and threatening their employees overseas
