    In NZ there are BYDs everywhere. Why are they not in US yet?

      Same reason they are not in EU, tarrifs.

        They are in the EU. The tariff is 27% so they aren't as numerous as they would be without it but there are still plenty.

        There will probably be a lot more starting next year since they are building a factory in the EU which is scheduled to start production at the end of this year. That bypasses tariffs.
