Quick googling showed the Tata Punch EV to cost between $15k-$19k. Afaik, the BYD Seagull is also targeting under 20k EUR in Europe, double the price in China.

Quick googling showed the Tata Punch EV to cost between $15k-$19k. Afaik, the BYD Seagull is also targeting under 20k EUR in Europe, double the price in China. Might be tariffs.
- Hamuko 2y agoBYD actually got the lower end of the EU tariffs, possibly because they co-operated with the EU or they got less government subsidies.
- Bootvis 2y agoProbably more to do with the fact that all cars, imported and produced within the EU, are taxed quite heavily.
- pqtyw 2y agoIn what way? Some countries like Denmark etc. have very high sales/registration taxes (then again EVs were mostly exempt from them for quite a while, and maybe still are?). In most other countries you only need to pay VAT (~20%) but then there are various rebates/subsidies which might fully offset that (especially for cheap models like this)
