hinese electric-vehicle giant BYD is thinking about building a car assembly plant in Mexico. That’s one way to crack the U.S. market. The possibility of a BYD plant in this region is a big deal and while Tesla, General Motors, and Ford Motor have time to prepare they should start getting ready right now.
Wednesday, Nikkei Asia reported that BYD was considering building a car plant in Mexico. Ultimately, that would be the avenue for BYD cars to enter the North American market. BYD didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment about its expansion plans.
“The company’s spokesperson did not mention where exactly the company is looking but indicated Nuevo Leon and Bajio are likely candidates,” wrote Deutsche Bank analyst Edison Yu in a Thursday report. Nuevo Leon is the same region where Tesla is building a new car plant.

I told him to perfect the hydrogen; then get us a mars colony going.
“BYD EVs Are Coming to the U.S. How Long Do Tesla, and Ford Have to Prepare?”
Pretty much forever, unless the DEMOCRATS force EVs on Americans.
If Americans could buy Chinese EV’s at $10,000 a pop, I guarantee you the US auto industry would collapse.
To that end, US officials have not - and probably will not - allow the import of Chinese cars.
Given the fact that BYD buses are worthless piles of junk, and their cars are probably even worse than that, I’d say Tesla doesn’t have much to worry about. Ford might take a hit, though, since Job 1 with them went out the door years ago.
“Democrats will force EVs.”
Agree.
We need politicians to demand such high tariffs and not allow Chinese industry to the U.S.

BYD ev’s quality suck and they also spontaneously start on fire easier.
Good point.
I think the fact that Buick is somewhat largely a US company makes this 100% Chicom car available for import.
For years Buick was the best selling car in China.
Chinese investers are desperate to get their money out of China.
Doesn’t really matter if they turn a profit, they’ll have real assets, even if it busts, denominated in real currencies.
“”General Motors, and Ford Motor have time to prepare they should start getting ready right now.””
Horsepuckey. Ford, GM and others have announced a scaling back of EV production due to.....HELLO..... lack of demand. What a Surprise!
Thousands and thousands of EVs sit on car lots. Hertz Rentals just announced that they will not be purchasing, and are getting rid of many they already have. Hertz used to have a pretty good record of selling used rentals. Anyone purchasing a used EV should have their head examined.
Ford announced a major scaling back of investing and building batteries for the ridiculous EVs. Phrases like “adapting to the new reality” could just as well been “NOBODY WANTS THEM.”
Last year a German automaker announced the end of several EV model production lines. If one reads the details, this end of production coincided with the end of government subsidies. What a Surprise, again! There is no market for EVs, except for people who can already purchase 2 or more vehicles. They can also afford the home charging setups. I wonder how many EV owners also have a very reliable gasoline SUV that can be fully ‘charged up’ in about 5 minutes.
Here is a test I would love some official organization to perform. Full charge an EV. Put a gasoline-powered Honda generator in the trunk, and connect it to the battery/electric system. How far could the EV get? Would it be equal, less, or more than a regular car? Even if it would, the battery replacement costs are crazy.
I’ve seen pics of vast fields FULL of brand new chinese EV’s left to rust.
That would be the logical and practical thing to do if you wanted to protect American businesses and workers. Unfortunately, the U.S. Congress is not known to favor America and Americans.
Get ready for what? EV’s are starting to be rejected by consumers. Who wants a car that takes at least 30 mins to “fill up””, pollutes more than an internal combustion engine, is prone to fires, and is far far more expensive to own over it’s lifetime?
More cheap Chinese crap? No, thanks.
I saw a video of a LA auto enthusiast discussing public chargers a couple of months ago. She was driving a non Tesla EV and had the chargers mostly to herself as an early adopter. Fast forwarding, she says half the chargers don’t work for various reasons and often has to wait in line..
