The BYD Seagull.
  • Chinese EV company BYD plans to introduce its bargain hatchback Seagull to Europe in 2025.
  • The car's base model sells for less than $10,000 in China.
  • Meanwhile, automakers operating in the US are still slow to provide a more affordable EV option. 

As some US drivers pine for more affordable electric vehicle options, America is left to watch the rest of the world get access to some of the cheapest EVs on the market.
