BYD is starting to sell in Europe right now and reviews are actually quite good so we need to wait and see a bit.
I see no reason for a decent quality and affordable EV not to achieve at least relative success.
But we've seen before that any successful Chinese company is liable to be hit by Western governments' campaigns against it. So if we start to see article linking BYD to whatever awful deed you can think of towards the end of the year or next year I guess it'll mean there are doing well in the West.

That's a bit of a weird turn in your comment.

- dagw 4y agoI see no reason for a decent quality and affordable EV not to achieve at least relative success. At least here in Sweden, BYD isn't really positioning itself by being more "affordable". The cheapest car they sell here is around the same price as an entry level Tesla Model 3 and quite a bit more than an entry level VW ID.3. Their SUV, that they seem to be basing most of their sales campaign around, costs a lot more than for example the Ioniq 5 and is pushing close to BMW iX prices.
