BYD is currently introducing in Europe three all-electric models – the Han, Tang and Atto 3 (in China known as Yuan Plus) – but soon there might be a few more.<\/p>\n

According to Pere Brugal, head of sales for BYD in Europe (via Automotive News Europe<\/em>), next year the lineup might be strengthened by the BYD Seal midsize sedan, which recently entered the Chinese market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is no precise date for the BYD Seal launch in Europe, but it would be “possibly next year.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Let’s recall that the three first electric cars will be offered by the end of 2022 in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany, France and the UK<\/a>, as well as in Israel. Italy and Spain will join the party in 2023. The BYD Atto 3 already passed Euro NCAP crash tests with a 5-star rating<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We guess that once the company secures a bridgehead, then the new models will get a green light.<\/p>\n

Besides the BYD Seal, the company is also considering the launch of the\u00a0BYD Dolphin, which is an all-electric hatchback<\/a> – also a very popular segment in Europe.<\/p>\n

Nothing has been decided yet, but that would mean a potential lineup of five models, which is pretty good for a new player.<\/p>\n

We guess that BYD will focus only on pure electric cars in Europe, while in China slightly more than half of its sales are plug-in hybrids.<\/p>\n

In the long term, a lot depends on BYD’s manufacturing capacity. Currently, the company runs at over 200,000 plug-in cars monthly<\/a> (usually 50\/50 BEVs\/PHEVs) and continues to ramp up production, although the order backlog is still counted in months. Sending 50,000 or more BEVs to Europe will add a few weeks to wait times in China.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Europe is not the only export market unlocked by BYD, as the company is now expanding in basically every direction (maybe besides the US\/Canada). On top of that comes contracts for batteries and other EV systems for other manufacturers, including Toyota.<\/p>\n
