Not road legal. Youd need the manufacturer to do all that paperwork+engineering. People have imported cheap Chinese evs for farm or questionably legal neighbor

  > +engineering what sort of extra engineering is required to make it road legal? I assume paperwork is really just certification to prove it meets existing regulations, but if the car requires "extra" engineering, then that's a big problem isnt it?

    The car is probably made to security standards of the markets it's aiming for, and some places (like China) have weaker standards than US/Europe. If BYD planned to sell the model in US/Europe, then they would've engineered it to meet their security standards and just need to do "the paperwork" of submitting a few cars for (crash-)testing to satisfy the authorities.
