Where do you live? I’ve seen 3 in my city in Indiana.

And yet despite having production in the US (no chicken tax), they are way behind GM, Ford, and Ram. They sell hardly any by comparison.

BYD can capture the US EV car market share easily

The car market in the US is dying. That’s why Tesla has such high marketshare in sedans. Everyone else discontinued their sedans, and even Honda and Toyota are selling more SUVs that cars.

As to other vehicles, I doubt BYD can capture marketshare “easily.” Toyota and Nissan thought the same about the truck market, and they each have an underutilized truck assembly plant as a testament to that arrogance. It took Toyota and Honda decades to get where they are today in the US.

And this is exactly why Cash for Clunkers was a failure in every way except for giving a massive handout to the auto industry. Studies showed it had no impact on emissions, or even new sales. All it did was pull ahead existing sales by a few months to a few years.

At which point, the government takes away all charger subsidies from Tesla because the system is no longer open. And then CCS build out continues using government subsidies and eventually exceeds Tesla.

NACS is a standard CCS charger with a different plug on the end. So it’s trivial to switch back and forth, and newer chargers will have both CCS and NACS plugs because of this. Many Tesla owners already use CCS chargers because they are cheaper than the Superchargers.

The more likely scenario is Tesla puts longer cables on their chargers. The entire industry is not going to agree to be hamstrung by Tesla’s arbitrary design design for the next several decades when they can just tell Tesla to change out the cords.
