I will never get over the branding of BYD's first exported model,[0] the "Han."[1]
What would be the equivalent? The Chevy Caucasian model for the China market?
Maybe I am missing something, but this just seems like an odd choice.

edit: To be clear, I don't discount that manufacturing and battery powerhouse China could rule the EV world. I'm old enough to recall the jokes about Japanese quality. That would be a dumb mistake for "The West" to make again.
