  • Chinese electric-car maker BYD launched the Seagull, a ridiculously cheap hatchback. 
  • It costs roughly $11,000 to start and offers up to 251 miles of range, according to BYD. 
  • It can charge from 30% to 80% in 30 minutes. 
This sleek little hatchback is one of the best deals on the electric-car market. But don't get your hopes up too much — you can't buy one in America.
